I really gotta remember to reply all. Here's what was between Bobby and I: **************************************** Here: Home-less Users Having a home directory for users is highly recommended. At a minimum, the Pigeonhole Sieve plugin requires a home directory to work. See Home Directories for Virtual Users for more reasons why it’s a good idea, and how to give Dovecot a home directory even if you don’t have a “real home directory”.
If you really don’t want to set any home directory, you can use something like: mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/ Hide quoted text On Sat, Dec 4, 2021 at 12:34 PM Tyler Montney <[email protected]> wrote: > reading in the documentation that user home folders are highly recommended Who (Dovecot or Postfix) and where? As for my configuration, I use /srv/vmail. Just personal preference. Assuming we're talking about using /home/%u, I wouldn't do that because I expect shell users to be there. (It might even go against convention for Linux.) If I'm wrong, someone else correct me as I'm interested to know.

I would like to go the Virtual Users route... but I was reading in the documentation that user home folders, even for virtual, are highly recommended. Is this true?
