I was basing my setting of the "mail" field on the virtual domain
documentation in the courier FAQ:
[When a virtual account does not really have a home directory, just the
system mailbox, set both the home and mail fields to the same pathname:
userdb [EMAIL PROTECTED] set home=/home/virtual/example.com/john \
mail=/home/virtual/example.com/john \
uid=999 gid=999
In this case /home/virtual/example.com/john is the system mailbox.]
...and the following passage in makeuserdb.html:
[mail - value specifies the location of the account's Maildir mailbox.
This is an optional field that is normally used when userdb is used to
provide aliases for other mail accounts. For example, one particular
multi-domain E-mail service configuration that's used by both Qmail and
Courier servers is to deliver mail for a mailbox in a virtual domain,
such as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", to a local mailbox called "example-user".
Instead of requiring the E-mail account holder to log in as
"example-user" to download mail from this account, a userdb entry for
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is set up with mail set to the location of
example-user's Maildir mailbox, thus hiding the internal mail
configuration from the E-mail account holder's view.]
However, I tried setting the "mail" field to include the word "Maildir",
and after making the appropriate changes and rerunning ./makeuserdb, the
mail clients exhibited no change in behavior. In the example above,
however, the setting does indicate duplicating the "home" and "mail"
entries.
Again, thanks in advance for help given and apologies for what may seem
to be extra bandwidth for the problem.
