Hello!

My current mail setup looks like that:

MTA is postfix, MDA is maildrop. Each system user configures mail delivery using the .mailfilter of maildrop to arbitrary maildirs in his home. For each maildir a POP3/IMAP account can be configured, currently I use courier-imap/-pop and think about replacing it by dovecot.

AFAIK with dovecot each account has a home and maildir assigned which should not be equal neither should a home dir be used for mulitple accounts.

My problem is where to put these homedirs? System users have full SSH access on the machine. I would really prefer to put them somewhere where the users could delete them (if they need to reset or delete their account). Optimal would be in the maildir itself, but...

What are your suggestions?

Regards, Florian
