Also whenever I try to suggest using a separate home and mail directory, the answer is way too often: "But I'm using virtual users. (They don't have home directories.)"
So I started wondering. Maybe simply renaming the "home" to something else would help here at least some.
OTOH you'd need to make distinction between system and virtual users in docs everywhere home is used, like: "mail_location: relative paths are based on $home for system users, and on $vhome for virtual users."
That text is wrong though. Relative paths are strongly discouraged. They probably are based on home, but that's only by chance and may not work in all situations..
Does that mean you do NOT recommend using maildir:~/ as a mail_location in preference of maildir:/full/path/to/maildir ?
