Hi All,
I run a mail server with Postfix (version 2.6.6), Dovecot and
Spamassassin.
The first time I saw an unexpected directory in virtual_mailbox_base
what medio dec. 2018. The mail server has been running for 5+ years.
There are more directories than the six directories I expect. I expect
one directory for each of the domains that the mail server handles.
What were the directories that you did not expect?
/mnt/ebs01/vmail/landplan.dk is one if the directories that I do not expect.
Because landsplan.dk is not a local domain on the the mail server
Looking at the /var/log/maillog it seems as if:
1. An user that is handled by the mail server logs in and sends a mail
to an address that is not handled by the mail server
2. The mail is queued
3. Spamassassin kicks in and scans the mail. I don't understand that
as the mail is outgoing.
You can scan outgoing mail if you want to make sure your users don't
send viruses. Even though I trust all my users I do it as a precaution
in case some users clients get infected and start sending viruses.
Perhaps Spamassassin creates the unexpected directory as the
Spamassassin line in /var/log/maillog refers to an unexpected file,
ie. /mnt/ebs01/vmail/landplan.dk/XXX/SpamAssassin/user_prefs. By the
way, that file does not exist.

Any help would be appreciated

You deliver mail to dovecot, so dovecot is responsible for writing to
the mail store. Could it be dovecot that is creating the unexpected
directories?
