postfix doesn't want create the users directories

[redem]

Hi all!

I have followed this guide http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_and_domains_with_postfix_debian_etch but at the end, when I insert a domain and a user in the database, i can't access to my mailbox (using SquirrelMail) because no user directory is created.
The directory /home/vmail is empty.

mail.log error:


imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
imapd: chdir xxxxx.com/admin/: No such file or directory


Sorry for my bad english, thanks.

The directory is created when the first email is received

[redem]

There is any method to create the directory automatically?

Ok, i have sended to my account some emails, but still not working.

It seems as if amavisd isn't running. Please restart it.
