I have shifted from a system-based email system to virtual for a

It will receive email, but with one exception the userdb is empty and

Hi Cam
if your issue is about sending emails and you are using dovecot only
as an imap server and using exim to send emails, what is the relation
between your problem and the dovecot configuration? I didn't see one,
but maybe I'm misunderstanding something about the problem you are
seeing.
It turns out that the problem was in exim4.conf, particularly since
shifting to virtual users raised the issue of tainted email addresses.
It was not clear to me for a while (2 or 3 days) where the problem lay,
since the userdb was empty. And I can get confused...
Thank you for responding.
The original email can safely be ignored.
Cheers
Cam
