Your SQL lookup returns "/var/mail/vmail/" as the user's home directory.
You'll need to have a proper per-user directory as their home. For
example have the user_query return '/home/virtual/%u' as home. See
http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers#homedirs
Ok, I'm beginning to grasp this. However, my understanding is still
incomplete somehow. The changes I've made thus far are:
1) now, all virtual users have a "home" directory in /virtusers/%u
2) home field in the PostgreSQL database says, /virtusers/<userid>
The errors as before are no longer being shown. However, as I stated before,
I have sendmail configured with aliases to "map" a virtual users, such as
jdunkin, to the system user vmail. This user is getting all the mail for the
aliases (virtual user accounts). How do I get the mail to each virtual user?
Sounds like you would like to call e.g. Dovecot Deliver from sendmail
*based on the incoming username* instead of simply dropping the emails
into "vbox".

Somebody's terminal is dropping bits. I found a pile of them over in the
