does dovecot assume ~ = /home/userid ?

See $SUBJ - or is there a setting somewhere to control this?

I have a userid = user@example.com with homedir (from /etc/shadow) = /home/example.com/user, but when dovecot wants to find e.g. ~/.dovecot.sieve , it looks in /home/user@example.com ....

Doing "su - user@example.com" puts me in the correct directory.
