[Dovecot] Trying to use "deliver" as a LDA

[Stéphane Legrand]

Hello,

I'm trying to use "deliver" as a LDA for some users. I found the page
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA where i read that i can use the ".forward"
file in the user HOME directory. However, when i try, i get the
following error in the maillog file : 

... deliver(...): mbox: We need root IMAP folder, but can't find it or
HOME environment
...deliver(...): Failed to create storage for 'user' with mail
'mbox:/var/mail/user'

where "user" is the user login.

How can i fix this error ? My aim by using "deliver" as a LDA is to
force a quota for the mailbox user. Is this the right thing to do to
achieve this ?

My configuration is the following : 

  OS : FreeBSD 6.1
  Dovecot 1.0.r7

Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Stephane.
