if you are going to use dovecot as the LDA the setup below is for
Fedora 10, and virtual delivery
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f
${sender} -d ${us...@${nexthop} -n -m ${extension}
This straight out of the Dovecot documentation.
If you want it Dovecot to auto create folders leave out the -n.
This setup is the one I am using for my Fedora 10 Postfix+Dovecot and
virtual delivery setup, only two local user on the system me and root.
It seems to work quit nicely, and according to a number of much cleverer
people than myself means that all the maildir/Dovecot indexes are kept
up to date.
