I am installing postfix on a box where all users don't necessarily have a home directory. Anyone know of a way to configure "home_mailbox" to an absolute path(with username var) so every user's mailbox directory resides under one top level directory?
Something like "/var/spool/mail/$USER/", e.g. If I set it to "/var/spool/mail/$USER/" it creates that directory structure under the user's home directory and doesn't expand the USER var. This was a total guess on my part and I have no reason to believe I can use a variable like that. Any help would be appreciated. I'd love to avoid procmail to do this as my installation's workload is sensitive to the extra resource expense procmail adds.
