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@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.
