How to configure dovecot to use different default mail_location for system (uid<1_000) and normal users (uid>=1_000)?
I want to to use by default
- classic mailbox in standard location for system users
- maildir in $HOME subdirectory for normal users
That depends :-)
If you have just one userdb, configure the default mail_location for most users and return a mail extra field for the other ones.
You use passwd? This probably will not work, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields about the syntax
You could probably copy the set of users, that requires extra fields, from your /etc/passwd to somewhere else, adding the extra field. Then configure the copy as userdb { driver passwd-file } _before_ the userdb { passwd }. That way, the entries in the passwd-file override the ones in /etc/passwd, because they are found first.
