Well, in my use case, this local_copy_incoming transport
is chained to virtual_delivery transport, via the

virtual_delivery:
  driver = appendfile
  envelope_to_add
  return_path_add
  mode = 0600
  maildir_format = true
  create_directory = true
  directory = ${extract{smtp}{$address_data}}
  user = mail
#${extract{uid}{$address_data}}
  group = mail
#${extract{gid}{$address_data}}
  quota = ${extract{quota}{$address_data}{${value}M}}
  quota_is_inclusive = false
  #quota_size_regex = ,S=(\d+):
  quota_warn_threshold = 75%
  maildir_use_size_file = false
  quota_warn_message = "To: $local_part@$domain\n\
                        Subject: Mailbox quota warning\n\n\
                        This message was automatically generated by the
mail delivery software.\n\n\
                        You are now using over 75% of your allocated
mail storage quota.\n\n\
                        If your mailbox fills completely, further
incoming messages will be automatically\n\
                        returned to their senders.\n\n\
                        Please take note of this and remove unwanted
mail from your mailbox.\n"
  shadow_transport = local_copy_incoming



which resolves from this router:

virtual_domains:
  driver = redirect
  domains = +local_domains
  address_data = ${lookup mysql{\
        select smtp, users.sa_tag*10 AS sa_tag, users.on_spamassassin
AND domains.spamassassin AS on_spamassassin, \
        users.uid AS uid, users.gid AS gid, quota \
        from users,domains \
        where localpart = '${quote_mysql:$local_part}' \
                and domain = '${quote_mysql:$domain}' \
                and domains.enabled = '1' \
                and users.enabled = '1' \
                and users.domain_id = domains.domain_id}{$value}fail}
  allow_fail
  data = ${extract{smtp}{$address_data}}
  headers_add = ${if and { \
                    {match{$domain}{$original_domain}} \
                    {match{$local_part}{$original_local_part}} \
{>={$spam_score_int}{${extract{sa_tag}{$address_data}}}} \
{eq{1}{${extract{on_spamassassin}{$address_data}}}} \
                    } {X-Spam-Flag: YES\nX-Spam-Score:
$acl_m_spam_score\nX-Spam-Report: $acl_m_spam_report}{} }
    local_part_suffix = +*
    local_part_suffix_optional
  retry_use_local_part
  file_transport = virtual_delivery
  reply_transport = address_reply
  pipe_transport = address_pipe

this router and virtual_delivery transport work just ok.

So the question is how to correctly connect shadow transport to this
processing in case of 4.94?


Thank you
