[Dovecot] dovecot and virtual mailbox - suggestions please

[David Bain]

Update.
Because postfix delivers messages by username I had to switch it to:
 default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/%d/%n/

Otherwise ti would create mailboxes in the from
/var/spool/virtual_mailboxes/domain/blah at domain/ (not very useful)

Thanks again Johannes
