Hi,

if you ever encountered this message:

"Error in setting up pipe, file, or autoreply 
"file_transport unset in virtual_user router"

your configuration for a pop3/imap account lacks a "/" at the end.

i.e.

directory_transport = "/var//mailaccounts/username/Maildir"

instead of

directory_transport = "/var//mailaccounts/username/Maildir/"


O== Why do i write this ?

if  $directory_transport is a file, it could be a filterfile. So far, so
good.

if the "/" is missing at the end of a directory path, it's considered to
be a filter file,
and thats wrong.


@Devs:


Pls add a check for the $directory_transport variable, if the string is
indeed a file or a directory and
act accordingly as a directory can never be a mbox file, or a
filterfile, it will always be a mdir directory.

Thanks .

best regards,
Marius
