As to how to stop the mail process from chdir'ing to a home directory

If you don't want Dovecot to use a home directory, don't tell it a home directory.

I'm all for that since I don't seem to have any need for a home directory. Any idea of how to do it with a passwd-file userdb backend? I also tried to override home directory with

userdb {
	driver = passwd-file
	args = /etc/passwd home=/bundled/home/$n
}

but that didn't work out too well. Or is this feature a rephrasing of the current topic thread "Global fields for passwd-file database".
