I'm sure I read that symlinks and chrooting was carnage - but I'm willing to give anything a go. It's not going to bring down the space station :-)
My only confusion is where do I put the symlink. To make matters a struggle for me I'm dyslexic so please forgive me a little as I'm struggling to follow this: /home/mail/email/home/mail/email - I see the same things twice and this locks me up a bit. For my own clarity (I'll adapt this when I unscramble it) I guess it would be OK to make a symlink to the socket thus; LINK POINTS TO: /home/mail/email/private/samilter WHERE DO I 'PUT' LINK? Where does the link need to be -v- the duplication in the path is confusing me. ln -s /home/mail/email/private/samilter / # run from /home/mail/email ???
