home folder for virtual users with autoexpunge setting
Hi all,
I have enabled today the autoexpunge setting for Trash folders, and I am getting the following error when Dovecot starts:
imap(<USER>): Error: autoexpunge: Couldn't create dovecot.autoexpunge.lock lock: User has no home directory
I understand this is correct: as <USER> is a virtual user, it does not have home folder. Is there any way I can set the autoexpunge plugin to store the lock file in the virtual user email home folder?
Thank you! Felix

You need to set mail_home to something, return userdb_home from passdb, or home from userdb. Even for virtual users.

well, home folder in Dovecot != $HOME (or ~user), but user-specific besides the mail storage root folder:
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home
Dovecot however uses ~ as abbrevation for "home directory".

Hi Steffen,
Thank you very much for your answer, I did not know I was supposed to have that home folder. I have moved everything on the folder <user home folder>/* to <user home folder>/mail. I have restarted dovecot and nothing seems to be broken. However, I see I have the following files inside <user home folder>/mail :
dovecot-acl-list dovecot.list.index.log dovecot.mailbox.log.2 dovecot.sieve.log dovecot.svbin dovecot-uidvalidity.51e5857f sieve storage dovecot.list.index dovecot.mailbox.log dovecot.sieve dovecot.sieve.log.0 dovecot-uidvalidity mailboxes spamassassin subscriptions
Which ones should I move to <user home folder>/ ?
Thank you! Felix

these:
dovecot.sieve.log dovecot.svbin sieve dovecot.sieve dovecot.sieve.log.0
I'm not sure about this one:
spamassassin
This is probably used by an plugin or something like that, so it should go into home as well.
Thank you! Felix
