This shows you are using Virtual Mailboxes (possibly with the unsupported VDA patch). If your domain is in the mysql-virtual_domains.cf map, then you must MySQL to create users. Any mail gets stored in /var/vmail Since this is of your own design (or copy/paste), we cannot support every single virutal mailbox setup.
