I've been exploring, both on my mail-server-to-be, and on the Dovecot
mailing list, just why it is that the Dovecot deliver program is leaving
the domain string empty when formulating the mail location path. The
answer I'm getting now on that list is that it is a Postfix problem and
that I should ask on THIS list?
Does that make any sense to anyone here? Just wondering if anyone here
has done Postfix+Dovecot and made it work ... and better yet, documented
how to make the two talk to each other. What I have so far has (in one
incarnation) gotten mail successfully delivered. But the path as
defined in Dovecot's mail_location = configuration which had %d in there
to fill in the recipient domain name as part of the path, got an empty
string there, even though the domain name was passed along by Postfix.
I'm not sure what role Postfix would have in that. But maybe a sanity
check is in order (and this is making me start to go insane).
I've attached outputs from "dovecot -n", "postconf -n", and
"postfinger", with redactions to obscure domain names and IP addresses.
The domain name is not included in local delivery. You have a
bunch of domains for local delivery listed in mydestination.
Seems to me that if you want the domain name to be part of
delivery, the domain should be defined as a
virtual_mailbox_domain and not listed in mydestination.
