homedirectory_field '/mail'

Here is the file structure:

/mail/jo@domain.com /mail/jo@domain.com/cur /mail/jo@domain.com/new /mail/jo@domain.com/tmp ************************** Here are the directory permissions on the jo@domain.com folder and its contents: drwxr-xr-x 1154 1001

What are the directory permissions for /mail? If they're world writable, that's your problem--anybody on the box could drop a .mailfilter file in there and redirect your mail somewhere else.

If you have a .mailfilter file, it needs to be 0600 permissions...

Once you fix this, it should fix your Postfix problem...
