does dovecot assume ~ = /home/userid ?

[Per Jessen]

See $SUBJ - or is there a setting somewhere to control this? 

I have a userid = user at example.com with homedir (from /etc/shadow)
= /home/example.com/user, but when dovecot wants to find e.g.
~/.dovecot.sieve , it looks in /home/user at example.com ....

Doing "su - user at example.com" puts me in the correct directory.
