Hi Timo and others,

We use Dovecot in Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania. For now
our LDA is Postfix and POP/IMAP server is Dovecot. We would like to
implement dovecot deliver as LDA. Everything is ok exept one small thing:

deliver is creating dovecot.index.log in wrong place

In dovecot config files we have:
...
mail_location =
maildir:/var/mail/%Ln:INDEX=/var/indexes/%Ln:CONTROL=/var/indexes/%Ln
...

As you can see, mail and index/control files are in different partitions.

and deliver log:

deliver(nerijus.kislauskas at ktu.lt): maildir: data=/var/mail/nerkisl
deliver(nerijus.kislauskas at ktu.lt): maildir++: root=/var/mail/nerkisl,
index=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/nerkisl

That is why dovecot.index.log is created in /var/mail/nerkisl, and not
in /var/indexes/nerkisl.

How can we fix this?
