Hi, If you read about the *$home* variable the *Specification* you'll find it says:
*$home* When the *check_local_user* option is set for a router, the user’s home directory is placed in $home when the check succeeds. In particular, this means it is set during the running of users’ filter files. A router may also explicitly set a home directory for use by a transport; this can be overridden by a setting on the transport itself. You have *no_check_local_user* set on your router, preventing it from looking up the username in your user database to obtain the account's home directory, so *$home* can't be populated. You either need to remove that option, or use the *router_home_directory* option in your router to obtain and set the directory (overriding anything obtained by *check_local_user* is you use both).
