As in subject, if you for instance create a simple passwd-file with:
[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:{plain}pass:20000:10::/home/regular/.test::userdb_mail=maildir:%h/maildir
Dovecot (rc23 & 27) will expand %h to empty string, and try to make a
directory under /
Looks like the expansion was done too early. Fixed:
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2007-March/008128.html
Now dovecot both expands %h and treats it literally, creating following
directory: /home/regular/.test/%h/maildir
I'm not sure why it would do this. The dovecot master should expand the
mail environment once more, so %h should have expanded. It also worked
in my tests..
Anyway, after thinking about this for a while I think the change is
wrong anyway, so I reverted it. I think the solution for now is just to
not use %h, since dovecot-auth can't expand it and it's not that simple
to add the code to do that.
Do you see %h elsewhere in Wiki than in MailLocation? I changed that
now.
Can't find it anywhere else.
Also, some small remark could be added in
http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile and possibly in
http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation, that %h cannot be used in userdb_mail
as in mail_location.
If %h could cause problems in other places (like ldap, sql,...),
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables might need adjusting too.
