    Hello,

    I wanna retrieve emails from an external email server via fetchmail and deliver them to postfix, I follow http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox but the problem is it still deliver the mails to the /var/mail/user "which is the default path", also I checked this topic http://forums.freebsd.org/showpost.php?p=43655&postcount=10... all the configuration are correct and it still it deliver them to the wrong path :(

    If you want to use Maildir, please run
    Code:
    postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/'
    postconf -e 'mailbox_command ='
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart

    thank you for your reply, but my dear I wanna use the hash file with none UNIX accounts instead of, in my case we have more than 200 mailbox in the outlet, so let's assume that the Operating system has crashed so it's too hard to rebuild the same accounts in the Linux.. that is I why I wanna use the postfix users instead of the Unix accounts.

    I hope found what I'm looking for in howtoforge.com forums..
