Errors after upgrade to v2.3.17

[Aurel Mihai]

Hi,
Thank you.
I configured mail home and mail location to point to different places:
mail_home to /home/virtual0/%d/%n and, respectively, mail_location to
maildir:/home/virtual0/%d/%n/Maildir
Now the initial error: "Error: lmtp-server: conn unix:pid=40487,uid=107
[22]: rcpt user at domain:
stat(/home/virtual0/domain/user/.dovecot.lda-dupes/tmp) failed: Not a
directory" does no longer appear in the mail log, but in the user home
directory there is still this folder showing up *.dovecot.lda-dupes.locks,*
but this time it is empty, it has no "/cur", "/tmp", "/new" directories.


# ls -lha /home/virtual0/domain/user
total 32K
drwx------  5 vmail mail 8.0K Dec  6 09:19 .
drwx------  4 vmail mail  152 Dec  6 08:50 ..
