However, I would still prefer an easier solution. I just want deliver/Sieve. Sieve wants .dovecot.lda-dupes, therefore it wants a home dir. Since I use userdb ldap, I must fake a home dir in dovecot-ldap.conf. I must now even call deliver with -d. Wouldn't it be much simpler to either -- make sieve (optionally) put .dovecot.lda-dupes in sieve_dir -- have a dovecot.conf home_dir parameter that, like mail_location, may be overridden by userdb?
