Hi, we are using dovecot IMAP in a complex virtual setup with almost 4000 accounts; postfix hands over to deliver for local delivery into a home directory as stored in the SQL database. That's /srv/vmail/$DOMAIN/$LOCALPART for most of them, but I'd rather not hardcode this scheme anywhere as it's in SQL.
/srv/vmail/$DOMAIN/$LOCALPART/Maildir/
since …
By a policy change, we need to insert a filter in this chain and the filter must be called in such a way that it knows where to find the "home" directory since the command needs to read a configuration file in ~/.mailfilt.rc.
/srv/vmail/$DOMAIN/$LOCALPART/ is the home directory allowing for such things as sieve scripts etc for virtual users. I am not sure whether this actually works yet.
