Hello everyone,

I have following configurations (and more) at /etc/dovecot/local.conf in a "/VirtualUserFlatFilesPostfix/" setup :

[partial file content begins]

protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve

mail_location = maildir:~/data:INBOX=~/data/.INBOX

service lmtp {
    unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {
        user = vmail
        group = vmail
        mode = 0660
    }
}

protocol lmtp {
    postmaster_address = postmas...@example.net
    mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}

userdb {
    driver = passwd-file
    args = username_format=%u /srv/vmail/domains.d/%d/users.d/%n/etc/passwd
}

passdb {
    driver = passwd-file
    args = username_format=%u /srv/vmail/domains.d/%d/users.d/%n/etc/shadow.%Ls
}

service auth {
    unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
        user = postfix
        group = postfix
        mode = 0660
    }
}

[/partial file content ends]

Everyting works (IMAP mail is stored, IMAP/POP3 mail is retrieved, incoming SMTP mail from Postfix is delivered, Outgoing SMTP senders are authenticated from Postfix~SASL) BUT:

When incoming mail goes to a mailbox that does not exist, an error is logged by Dovecot, letter remains at Postfix queue, and no rejection message to sender (here host is /mail.example.net/):

Thank you for any help in debugging configuration or suggestion to enhance Postfix/Dovecot parameters.

Postfix 3.4

Dovecot 2.3
