Hi Jose,
That was exactly what i was thinking too, but i solved it a bit
differently now. I used maildrop for local mailbox delivery, and i
finally got the beast running. Although it is still not working the
way i wanted, it is working never the less.
S pozdravom / Best regards

Sometime ago I had some installation with that software and a similar
setup, although I don't remember the exact details. Anyway I seem to
remember that the mail wasn't delivered to the home directory of every
user, as it's a bit tricky to do so: the MTA should have write access
to all the home directories. I'm currently using Cyrus IMAP and
delivering mail through LMTP.
Anyway, you may treat your users as virtual and store the mail
anywhere else. Keep in mind that storing mail in the user's home
directory is intended for systems where users access mail directly in
their file system (as they used some time ago) instead of going
through a POP3/IMAP server, as it's mainly done nowadays. Moreover,
you're not giving your users shell access, so you don't have to worry
for giving direct access to mail files (unless you're mounting those
directories from anywhere else).
HTH,
Jose
