[Dovecot] Popping without home directories
Hello there
I tend to e-mail user accounts to my servers with /sbin/nologin and /dev/null as their shell and home directories respectively.
I have discovered that Dovcot does not like it when a user does not have a home directory. Obviosly the user POP3 and not IMAP! :P Is there a work around for this? I have a suspicion it is one of the chroot option, but I do not know the meaning chroot.
Thanks
Andre

This isn't possible, and I don't really have plans to make it possible. Home directory is required for IMAP, and Dovecot is mostly an IMAP server.
