Since I'm going to make a change to my folder structure, what would be recommended so I can avoid the need in the future?

All my mail users are virtual - they have no existence in /etc/passwd, nor do they have folders under /home. At this time, all mail is being delivered to maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n - and the home is the same (which is becoming more of a problem).

As I see it, I have the choices of: that matter in any way?

1. Place mail underneath home, as in /var/mail/%d/%n/mailbox Probably the simplest, but adds a level to the folder hierarchy. Does

2. Place home underneath mail, as in /var/mail/%d/%n/home (unless THAT poses a problem as well, with a non-mail folder visible to the mail system) Leaves mail alone - but means the home folder is visible from within the mail system.

3. Relocate home totally outside mail, as in /var/mail/home/%d/%n Would provide isolation - but more difficulty in administration, particularly adding/deleting users.

Any suggestions? Wow. My list matches almost word for word the wiki entry on virtual users. And since I see the preferred choice is option #1 - guess that's what I'll do unless I hear different.
