[Dovecot] Courier to dovecot migrations

[Daniel Grilo]

Well, I've been all day yesterday solving this .. and of course a simple
[root at magenta ~]# chmod a+rx /opt/mailboxes/

allows me to see the mails from scanner user.

The only problem now is when sending mails to that user I still get a
warning: connect #3 to subsystem private/dovecot: Connection refused

I don't think I can set postfix to deliver directly to maildir instead 
of passing through dovecot ?
I don't know if the home_mailbox directive allows us to use vars like %u 
? or can you see anything wrong in my confs !?
