Hi,
I'm fairly new to Dovecot, migrating from a POP-only system with /var/mail only mailboxes. I'm currently on version 1.0.10 on Solaris 10, but I don't think that's relevant to the question.
I'm a little overwhelmed by the number of configuration options at the moment. I took the "standard"
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
setting in dovecot.conf. This mostly works fine, but home dirs are NFS mounted and in the event that an NFS server is down users cannot read their mail. This is the case even for users who only use POP.
So, my question is, do folks on this list have good suggestions for optimum ways to deal with this so that users (perhaps only POP users) can read their mail independent of home directories being available? I think I can make something up, but I'd rather take a standard approach if there is one. If this has already been discussed I apologise - just point me to it as I didn't find it.
Thx, Roger
