Hello Timo,

This works.
Thanks for your investigation and time.

deliver uses mail_location = dbox:/var/mail/%u -- my e-mail gets 
delivered correctly

and all the other compontents use the path from userdb. I used "args = 
home=/var/home/%u mail=dbox:/var/mail/%u" -- and my e-mail gets expired 
correctly, too

Kind regards,

Stef
