So in such case - is there any way to chroot mail processes for userdb
that can't (or shouldn't) use /./ and can't modify HOME to fit
mail_chroot setting ? Like system's passwd, or other where changing HOME
would/could break other things ?
I know what you mean by breaking backwards compatibility in this
context, but in this way, mail_chroot is practically unusable besides
custom-userdb + dovecot-only setups. And in this scenario - you can
simply use /./ (point being, in a way - is there anyone actually using
mail_chroot / chroot along with stripped HOME paths ?).
