[Dovecot] mail accounts for users without home dirs

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

Hi!

I use dovecot on a machine where users without an existing home directory (Not my idea...) need to access their mailboxes. Unfortunately dovecot tries to chdir to the users home directory before allowing IMAP access - is there anything I can do about that besides creating a dummy-homedirectory for these users?

Greetings,

Gunter
