I *want* to have mail stored in ~/Maildir (but only for actual human users of course, not for system ones). Can I achieve that without setting home_mailbox ? > Best practice is to not use home_mailbox, and store all mail in a common > tree owned by the IMAP service.

The primary method of accessing mail is by old fashioned ssh'ing to the server and running a local mail client that accesses directly the messages stored in Maildir (like mutt). Only when mail can't be properly accessed this way (eg. it is HTML formatted or contains attachments), I resort to IMAP client on my PC. Therefore I want to use local(8), as I understand it's best suited for this "old fashioned" style of using mail, ie. real Unix users logging in to their accounts and running a local mail client. It is simple and I don't have to care about any delivery agent configuration details. Can I achieve the same using LMTP or virtual(8) without too much effort on configuration? -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
