echo goes to the standard error. This is largely useless in practice. log has the same functionality and goes to the logfile, which defaults to /dev/null. logfile sets the logfile. For debugging virtual (local) users I use this in the virtual:
logfile $HOME/maildrop.log log "To: $LOGNAME" Actually, the log statement here is redundant, the normal logfile output for each mail contains the recipient. Note: $USER will be the virtual mail psuedo user, vmail. I am using Postfix, Maildrop, and Courier-IMAP. Note, I have no virtual domains, just two virtual users, imp and charger. Their mail gets dumped in /home/vmail/Maildir-imp/ and /home/vmail/Maildir-charger/ where it is accessed via the IMAP server.
