I am not sure, but I guess you have already created the user inbox
before posting the email to the account. However, by design autocreate
patch does not function this way.
In order the create on post feature of the autocreate patch be
activated, no account at all must be pre-exist. If the mailbox has been
already created, then the patch is not activated at all. This is
probably the reason for not seeing any log messages.
Below I cite the conditions required in order the create on post
functionality to be activated:
Create on post
==============
This feauture provides automatic creation of a user's INBOX folder when
all of the
following requirements are met.
i) An e-mail message addressed to the user has been received.
ii) The recipient is not any of the imap_admins or admins accounts.
Note that passing e-mails to admins or imap_admins accounts from
the MTA to LMTP should be avoided in any case.
iii) The recipient's INBOX does not exist.
iv) The "autocreatequota" option in the imap configuration file
has been set to a non zero value.
v) The "createonpost" option in the imap configuration file
has been switched on.
The above text was taken from the patch's documentation at:
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/README.autocreate-cyrus-2.2
I hope this clears the situation out.
Cheers,
Christos
