Am I storing e-mails to the correct path?
Working from the dovecot-postfix package I'm able to deliver e-mails to myself as so:
thufir@dur:~$
thufir@dur:~$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 dur.bounceme.net ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)
HELO me
250 dur.bounceme.net
mail from:<[email protected]>
250 2.1.0 Ok
rcpt to:<thufir@localhost>
250 2.1.5 Ok
data
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
subject: to evolution mail
we'll see if this goes through.
.
250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 43D6F2A07C1
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
thufir@dur:~$
and then here's the message:
thufir@dur:~$ ll Maildir/new/

Do I perhaps have postfix misconfigured? I ask because evolution seems to use a different path for mail.
