Hm. Migration to Maildir format would be nice. Would make things easier. I only fear running out of Inodes (currently using ext4). how does my mail get from (/var/mail/user ?) to /home/user/mail/ - does dovecot do that? ah.. can it be that /var/mail/user is the INBOX, since I only have an empty folder /home/user/mail/INBOX ? that would make sence. thanks for any advice P.S.: Hm. I found where to set this up in dovecot. But I struggle with postfix. My config is really grown dirty over ~20 years and I am no expert at all for that. It would need a big clean up or maybe configuring it again from scratch - but I am no expert and I am glad it works well with amavisd-new, dkim, spf, postgrey... I do not see either home_maildir or mailbox_command set. I found mail_spool_directory = /var/mail The file for the main user has a size of 2GiB. The ~/mail directory is > 20GiB in total. _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
