That's not how it works. home_mailbox is a relative path within a user home directory. Postfix already knows the username, already knows the path of the user's home directory. What you specify here gets tacked onto the home directory path. I.e. homedir: /home/stan home_mailbox=Maildir/ Maildir style mail is written into /home/stan/Maildir/ http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#home_mailbox >> But when I ran 'postfix check' it said, several times: >> >> /usr/bin/postconf: warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf: undefined parameter: user >> >> What I want is if the recipient is benf...@parts-unknown.org for the mail to >> be delivered to /Maildir/benfell/ This is a really important point you need to clarify. Are you wanting to write different users' mail to different filesystem locations, different disks? I.e. David's mail to disk A and Susie's to disk B? Or do you want to move everyone's mail to a new location? Each requires a different main.cf config. And if these are system user accounts, not virtual, then you may not be able to specify storage path on a per user basis. > The home_mailbox parameter works for local shell accounts and its > relative to the user's home folder. > look up the mail_spool_directory parameter. It looks like thats the > one you need to use. This is only valid if he wants to deliver all users' mail to a single path/location. It won't work for the per user case. -- Stan
