If I understand correctly I can repeat the userdb section:


userdb {
    driver = passwd
    override_fields = mail=~/Maildir
}

userdb {
    driver = passwd
    override_fields = mail=/home/user1/user1/Maildir
}


userdb {
    driver = passwd
    override_fields = mail=/home/user2/user2/mail
}

What do you think of this setup ?
