Yes the mbox messages are showing up in /home/vmail and the ownership is
vmail:vmail
The messages that come from cron and other system stuff that address
messages to r...@my.host.name or to ownerofcron...@my.host.name
Nobody will ever check those boxes and they are not wanted. We would
like to either redirect them else where ( forward and not leave in the
mbox file) or just block all messages to any...@my.host.name.
I did just find a way to put in a forward to forward everything to
r...@my.host.name to a virtual box and now the messages have stopped for
that address. I suppose I could put in a forward each time a new mbox
shows up but would rather just block all messages addressed to
any...@my.host.name if there is a way.

I am using MailDir format for all my virtual users and it is working

addressed to my virtual users goes to the MailDir locations just
fine. None of these mailboxes have ever been created, they are just
incorrect assumed addresses. There should NEVER be any email to
usern...@my.host.name because everything is virtual.
Er: 1) What is done by "cron jobs"??
passdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
driver = sql
}
userdb {
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n
driver = static
}
2) Are the mbox files for the system users located in /home/vmail/...
? What Unix uid/gid do they have?
3) Do you have any entry in the Dovecot logs, that let you assume that
messages to system users are delivered through Dovecot?
4) If you do not want, that your MTA accepts messages for
usern...@my.host.name reconfigure it.
