Thread: Dovecot mailbox location


hello all, (finally) got postfix , dovecot playing nicely together, had question seemed sort of sketchy:

directory structure follows:
/home/vmail/[domain]/[user mbox file]

however, when using:
userassword
in passwd-file, and
mail_location = mbox:/home/vmail/%d:inbox=/home/vmail/%d/%u
in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, error:
imap(user@domain.com): namespace '': maildir: home directory not set user. can't expand ~/ mail root dir in: ~/maildir

however, if override location in userdb file, , set to:
userasswd:vmail:vmail::::userdb_mail=mbox:/home/vmail/[domain]:inbox=/home/vmail/[domain]/user

works...??? what's wrong this?

also, side question, how turn sendmail off permanently in ubuntu 10.04? figured out how stop (sudo service sendmail stop).
