[Dovecot] Per-user Sieve script location question

[Selcuk Yazar]

Hi Again,

we have one domain, i suppose we don't have any problem with %n parameter.

our mail server has mapped LUN Storage disk , we have some empty space
problems, so i think it's better keep user things in storage for backup etc.
we have totally 40K users(most of students) but i think at most 50 of them
use this filter, autorespond etc. :)

thank you for your reply.

Selçuk
