[POSTFIX]changing the default maildir folder

Post by Eugene33 » Wed Nov 15, 2006 5:49 pm

Hi all,

I'm struggling with postfix for 2 weeks now I just got it to work, I can send and receive mails with spam and virus filters. My problem now is that the mails are still arriving in /home/user/.maildir and I want them to go to /var/spool/postfix/virtual/example.com/user/.maildir

I'm using

Code: Select all

* postfix 2.10
* amavisd-new 2.4.1
* maildrop 2.0.2-r1
* procmail 3.22-r7 (not activated)
* cyrus-imapd 2.2.12-r4
* cyrus-sasl 2.1.22-r1

* spamassasin 3.1.3
* spamassassin-ruledujour 20051123
* razor 2.82 (not configured I believe)

* clamav 0.88.6
* F-prot (backup)
my main.cf

Code: Select all

......
home_mailbox = .maildir/
........
alias_database = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql/mysql-aliases.cf
..........
virtual_transport = virtual
virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/postfix/virtual
and in MySQL db

Code: Select all

email                              user                  homedir 	                                  maildir 
root@example.com 	  	root 	/var/spool/postfix/virtual/ 	example.com/root/.maildir/
I can find my mail with webmin in /root/.maildir
and now I'm like a cow and I don't see/understand how I may have my mails going to /var/spool/postfix/virtual/example.com/user/.maildir
any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm googleing night and day and started a "tuto loophole"

I would think this would be set in your imap conf file, where your default maildirs are set.
