dovecot-postfix initial setting in postfix-main.cf wrong

[Paulkelly]

the installation of dovecot-postfix inserts '/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot.conf -n -m "${EXTENSION}"' into main.cf of the postfix config file as the 'mailbox command'. Unfortunately the config file location that dovecot defaults to is /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. The /etc/dovecot/conf.d folder is empty. This causes postfix to produce fatal errors and not deliver mail to mailboxes.

I manually edited my /etc/postfix/main.cf after the install to read
'mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf -n -m "${EXTENSION}"'
and it works perfectly afterwards.

Thanks

This was upgrade or clean install?

This path looks to be correct after installing lucid and aptitude install dovecot-postfix...

mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-dovecot-postfix.conf -n -m "${EXTENSION}"

that file does exist in this case... I have other issues but i wont go into those here... suffice to say this actual problem looks fixed in lucid.
