Hi,
I'm using the somewhat older mbox format (the old default for these
servers).
The transport for this is:
virtual_localdelivery:
driver = appendfile
create_directory
delivery_date_add
directory_mode = 700
envelope_to_add
file = /var/spool/virtual/${domain}/${local_part}
group = mail
mode = 660
return_path_add
user = "${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}"
quota = ${if
exists{/etc/virtual/${domain}/quota}{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/${domain}/quota}{$value}{0}}}{0}}
Which has been the default for over a year now, without any problems.
If I were to open an mbox filled with the virtual_localdelivery
transport, I would not find the > in front of the From's in this box.
So personally I don't think this exact issue is the problem, however it
could be related somehow.
Thank you,
Sebastian
