Would it be better to just drop the mbox part? Like this: mail_location = INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u

I suppose you're using only POP3, but if you ever happen to (even accidentally) enable IMAP access the above configuration may give access to other users' mails (although I suppose the filesystem permissions will prevent that if you're using system users). In any case, I'd suggest something like: mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u
