root mailbox problem
Hi,
I have a linux box which works as an smtp server. Past few months I am facing a problem, all the mails which my local lan users send to the outside world, all such mail gets bounced to root's mailbox. Also I have found that the mails which get bounced to the root's mailbox are mostly undelivered mails due to some reason.
I don't know why it doesn't go directly to the sender.
The kind of mails the root's mailbox receive is huge. Off which some are genuine.
Please let me know what are the configuration changes I need to do to resolve this problem.
Regards,

doveadm-import
DOVEADM-IMPORT(1) Dovecot DOVEADM-IMPORT(1)
NAME
doveadm-import - Import messages matching given search query
SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] import [-S socket_path] [-s] source_location dest_parent search_query
doveadm [-Dv] import [-S socket_path] [-s] -A source_location dest_parent search_query
doveadm [-Dv] import [-S socket_path] [-s] -u user source_location dest_parent search_query
DESCRIPTION
This command can be used to import mails from another mail storage specified by source_location to one or more user's mailboxes. All the
mailboxes are imported under the given dest_parent mailbox, or to root level if dest_parent is empty (""). The search_query can be used to
restrict which mailboxes or messages are imported.
In the first form, doveadm(1) will executed the import action with the environment of the logged in system user.
In the second form, the mails will be imported for all users.
In the third form, the mails will be imported only for given user(s).
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
-D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
-v Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
Command specific options:
-A If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for all users. Using this option in combination with system users from
userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the
first_valid_uid setting.
When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your data-
base layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in /etc/dovecot/dove-
cot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
-S socket_path
The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order to
connect a remote host via a TCP socket.
This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket.
-s When the -s option is present, dest_parent and all new mailboxes under it will be listed in the subscriptions file.
-u user/mask
Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
When neither the -A option nor -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the environment of the currently logged in
user.
ARGUMENTS
dest_parent
The name of the destination mailbox, under which the mails should be imported. doveadm(1) will create the dest_parent mailbox if it
doesn't exist.
search_query
Copy messages matching this search query. See doveadm-search-query(7) for details.
source_location
This argument specifies the mailbox format and location of the source location. The syntax is the same as for the mail_location set-
ting. For example: maildir:/backup/20101126/jane.doe/Maildir or mdbox:/srv/mail/john.doe/mdbox:ALT=/nfsmount/john.doe/mdbox
EXAMPLE
This example imports all mails from a backup under a backup-20101026 mailbox:
doveadm import -u jane.doe@example.org
mdbox:/backup/20101026/jane.doe/mdbox backup-20101026 all
Another example that imports only messages from foo@example.org in the backup mdbox's INBOX to jane's INBOX:
doveadm import -u jane.doe@example.org
mdbox:~/mdbox-backup "" mailbox INBOX from foo@example.org
