Re: Dovecot writing to mailbox user@domain
Hi John,
I'm guessing your problem is:
mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%u/Maildir
%u means 'username', and perhaps this serves you better:
%n: User part in user@domain, same as %u if there's no domain.
so:
mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%n/Maildir
I've had this same problem too

This is frustrating, because I had it working before... I could deliver
an email to a user user@domain, then connect to dovecot IMAP and see the
mail, no problem! Then I was told we had to use cyrus, and I was
dealing with it for a few weeks. Now we're back to dovecot, and the
last backup I had of that config has postfix delivering mail to
/var/vmail/username as I want and expect, but dovecot looks for and
creates /var/vmail/user@domain which I DON'T want

Re: ot: accepting self certs into win pc?
Apologies. I noticed only now that the certificate was issued for the real servername, and I'm using a dns alias to connect. Sorry.

Re: ot: accepting self certs into win pc?
Hi Frank, list, There is an option to fiddle (mentioned in the blog) to tell SOME MS software to ignore name mismatches. Make a wish and try it :-) True, but: Unfortunately it’s either on or off; you can’t set it to ignore a mis-match for particular names only. Because of the risk that someone might be impersonating your bank, you’d probably be best to leave this one checked and put up with the red warnings. So I think I'll just regenerate my certificate to match the hostname alias we use, instead of the actual hostname. Anyway: your blog is appreciated, thank you! :-)
