This is from the Postfix master.cf file: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -a ${recipient} You should include the log entries, both Postfix and Dovecot that pertain to this situation. And please, do not mangle them. It makes figuring out what is happening so very much harder. -- Jerry ✌ [email protected] Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
