Virtual Mailboxes

[dmiller at amfes.com]

The first bonehead maneuver seems to be:
   location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/virtual
I'm thinking it should be:
   location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual

But...it didn't seem to make a difference.  And if I have the "virtual" 
folder tree under a location other than 
"/var/mail/domain/user/mdbox/mailboxes" no names appear - so I think I 
have the files in the right place.  Any ideas?
