Subject:[maildropl] Unable to change to home directory. Feature request: Disable chdir(home)Actions...

I got qmail/maildrop working perfectly on one machine, but on the other (my own) machine, all users have their homedirectory in AFS space. This means that maildrop will fail, because NO ONE (exept user and AFS admin) have access to read/write to it.

I have no intention of aquiring a AFS token for qmail, that's the reason why I made /var/mail/DOMAIN/USER a Maildir (this is an ordinary local FS).

I'm trying to look through the code, but it's obvious that to fix this problem, more thought have to be done on doing this (currently I'v ifdef'ed part of maildrop/main.C).

So my request (for future releases) is to have an option to NOT do a chdir to the homedir. IF people have way to much work on their hand, AND this seems like a 'less likley to become a high priority todo' AND I myself have time (which I doubt :) I can offer to make such a patch...
