Timo or anyone,
any insight into this???
I really just want to tell dovecot's deliver where the home directory is
without having to fork another process to do it.
I may be able to create a shell script that set the env variable and
then launched deliver, but that's another fork that I'd rather not have,
and since I already know the home dir when I set up the .qmail-user
file, I'd rather just set it...
help...
Tim.
