I decided to enable the lda protocol for local delivery from postfix,
so I could use sieve plugins. The lda protocol seems to ignore
settings in the rest of the dovecot.conf file, however, such as the
above. Unless lda has a pre-existing maildir mailbox, it can't
create one. How do I give lda defaults to follow, if the above
statement doesn't do it?
Sounds like it's using a wrong config file. Try running explicitly
with
deliver -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Or set mail_debug=yes and check what it writes to logs.
Well, deliver is clearly seeing /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf because
other settings are obviously influencing it, and if it can't read
that file it errors out. But, just for good measure I followed your
suggestions.
Unless I specifically have /var/mail/virtual returned as home in the
ldap lookup, deliver can't find the directory. In other words, it
doesn't seem to respect the above mail_location setting. In
addition, if I don't have a pre-existing maildir in the target
directory, deliver complains it doesn't know what format to use,
further evidence that it is ignoring mail_location.
Is deliver really supposed to be reading that setting? It seems to
ignore it in my case, even though the setting is correctly read by
dovecot for purposes of reading and manipulating the mailboxes.
Here's a sample log:
