Hello Aki,
sorry for doubling the question, maybe you missed it in the other text. The
chatgpt told me to use mail_home = /var/maildir/%{user}, not mail_home =
/var/maildir/. Does it make some difference? Or should I use your version? From
my point of view your version seems better, but I am unsure of mail_home
purpose.
Thanks
Marek
