[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.1.3 Proxy creates mailbox on proxy

[Ed Nitido]

Hey all,

I've upgraded from a working Dovecot 2.0.17 Proxy with a master user setup
to Dovecot 2.1.3 and I've merged my conf settings from 2.0.17 into 2.1.3.

I'm able to start up dovecot proxy and telnet localhost, however it creates
the users home director on the proxy server instead of going to the backend
dovecot server
(which has already been successfully upgraded to 2.1.3 from 2.0.17).

In my old 2.0.17, I had the entire namespace section commented out in
10-mail.conf.
To achieve the same in 2.1.3 I had to remove the file 15-mailboxes.conf,
otherwise my error log would have the following if I just commented out the
namespace section and left that file in place:

*Error: user edward at dev.domain.com: Initialization failed: namespace
configuration error: inbox=yes namespace missing*
*Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information.*


So now I'm trying to figure out why the proxy doesn't get the mail server
IP from director, when doveadm has the backend server listed

*# doveadm director status*
*mail server ip       vhosts
                                            users*
*192.168.12.205    100
                                          0*

Can anyone see something I've missed?

Here's my doveconf output:
