So you set the mail location.

But your userdb also returns a home directory.

If /home/user doesn't exist, how about you change your passwd file to
point users' home directories to /var/spool/mail/user/home? It's good
for users to have home directories.

This error happens because deliver wants to create a "duplicate
database" to home directory when sending mail rejects. Hmm. I'm not
actually sure why it does that. I only added that because that's how it
was in Cyrus's implementation, but looks like it's completely pointless
to do it. Removed:
