Hi I have recently rectified an old configuration error whereby I had virtual users' home and mail directories set to the same value. I used option 3 from "ways to set up home directory" https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/ home_directories_for_virtual_users/ so I have: home= /var/vmail/domain/user/home/ mail= /var/vmail/domain/user/ where domain and user are substituted for the real domain and user. For existing users where I created the home directory when migrating the settings, there is no issue. But I am seeing errors like this for new users: lmtp(t...@example.com)<125035><EHDOAyS1lWVr6AEAjpgUYA>: Error: autoexpunge: Couldn't create dovecot.autoexpunge.lock lock: file_create_locked(/var/vmail/ example.com/t...@example.com/home//dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: safe_mkstemp(/var/vmail/example.com/t...@example.com/home// dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: No such file or directory Seems that differently to mail directory which is automatically created, the home directory is not created. I couldn't see any config setting that would autocreate home directories (where home directories are subdirectories of mail directories). Would it be worthwhile introducing an autocreate option for home directories? John
