BUG: Dovecot passwd lines are incorrect

GlennMatthys · 07-12-2008, 01:56 PM

When using dovecot, in the passwd file, (for example) a line looks like this:
glenn@foo.bar<img src="images/smilie.../email/foo.bar/glenn:::/var/mail/virtuser_1005

Because the last value is /var/mail/virtuser_1005, dovecot will try and use that as the MBOX file to store e-mail while the mail is actually stored in /home/ispmgr-users/glenn-test/data/email/foo.bar/glenn

Also, to be entirely correct, the homedir should be appended a /, to indicate it's a MAILDIR and not an MBOX.
