hm, what does dovecot-lda do? I think it tries to connect to
/usr/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb ?

The email with body foo in it is delivered to the mailbox.
Dec 15 16:37:27 lda(anme...@anup.de): Info: sieve: msgid=unspecified: stored
mail into mailbox 'INBOX'
Sending an email from the desktop results in the same error:
# mailq
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

(unknown user: "anme...@anup.de")
anme...@anup.de
I looked at the makefiles in the sources of the installed version
of dovecot and found that dovecot-lda is like everything compiled
with
localstatedir = ${prefix}/var
rundir = ${prefix}/var/run/dovecot
statedir = ${prefix}/var/lib/dovecot
where prefix = /usr
I don't know why dovecot-lda is not connecting? to
/usr/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
and instead uses /var/run/dovecot. I delete /var/run/dovecot meanwhile.
