mail_location: Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it

[transcend194@…]

After creation virtual mail domain & couple of users (LDAP configured in single server mode), I setup MUA and try to send test email, addressed those users. Email appear in queue as defered, in /var/log/mail.err see that:

Oct 14 18:01:57 zentyal dovecot: deliver(jake_it@kv.zia): mail_location: Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it: /var/vmail/kv.zia/jake_it (try prefixing it with mbox: or maildir:)
Oct 14 18:01:57 zentyal dovecot: deliver(jake_it@kv.zia): Fatal: Namespace initialization failed

After some googling, I change in the file /usr/share/ebox/stubs/mail/dovecot-ldap.conf.mas string "user_attrs = =mail=<% $mailboxesDir%>/%d/%n, \" to "user_attrs = =mail=maildir:<% $mailboxesDir%>/%d/%n, \", then save changes in Zentyal web-admin. For the time being it works.

Thanks a lot for pointing this out, trascend1994. It seems dovecot has some issue with some domains' name. Since we are always using maildir setting it explicitly should not do any harm.

I will test it later when I had more time and we will update the code if everything is ok..
