Exactly my point, the pickle is that courier is not able to create a $HOME or a $HOME/Maildir. For example, if using pam with samba a session is called and if there is no "$HOME" guess what, session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ will gladly generate it for you, on the other hand courier is not able to perform the same task. So the question is, do folks on this list encountered the following issue and if there a reasonable solution, besides using Dovecot to this issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
