Hi;

[root at example jack]# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --version
2.0.15

[root at example jack]# /usr/local/bin/doveconf -n
# 2.0.15: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

auth_mechanisms = plain login
mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u
passdb {
  args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sql.conf
  driver = sql
}
plugin {
  quota = maildir:storage=10240:messages=1000
  trash = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/trash.conf
}
service auth {

    group = mail
    mode = 0660
    user = vmail
  }
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    group = mail
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
  }
  user = nobody
}
ssl = no
userdb {
  args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sql.conf
  driver = sql
}
userdb {
  driver = prefetch
}
protocol imap {
  imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail
  mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
}

  mail_plugins = quota
  pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh

  info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log
  log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log
  mail_plugins = quota
  postmaster_address = postmaster at creative.vi
}


It appears that I have postfix at least partially working:

postfix/pipe[5280]: 9FDE0579012F: to=<uhuh at yup.com>, relay=spamfilter, delay=6, delays=3/0.01/0/3, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via spamfilter service)

I don't know where it ended up :-} There's nothing in /var/vmail, the dovecot destination. This is true even before I set the postfix content_filter to spamassassin (when it said "delivered to Maildir" or some such). Please advise.

TIA,
Jack
