Unless I specifically have /var/mail/virtual returned as home in

userdb can override mail_location:
Jun 27 18:56:52 mini deliver([EMAIL PROTECTED]): auth input:
mail=mark
You're overriding it with "mark".
I see. Well, my aim is to avoid having to prefix my mailbox entries
in my LDAP database with "maildir:", and to avoid having to deal with
the home attribute in LDAP at all if possible. I want to set those
things globally.
My dovecot-ldap.conf contains:
user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,mailbox=mail
I'm setting mailbox=mail because otherwise dovecot uses postfix's
destination, which is the entire destination email address. Are my
only choices to either use postfix's supplied destination, or to
override that and explicitly set the home directory and mailbox type
in the LDAP database?
Thanks.
