Sorry to go on about this.

I have a relative path stored in MySQL virtual user table:

mailbox | domain.com/jbloggs/ (note forward slash)

In my maildropmysql.config I have:

maildir_field mailbox (can I do this?) homedirectory_field mailbox

And in my maildroprc I want to have:

BASE="/export/home/vmail/"

if ( /^X-Spam-Status: YES */ ) { to "$BASE/$HOMEMaildir/.Spam/" } else { to "$BASE/$HOMEMaildir/" }

OK, the problem is that the maildropmysql.config says that homedirectory_field needs to be a 'full path' and that the config doesn't like $HOMEMaildir with '/'.

Can I use a relative path like this in maildroprc?

How can have $HOME (that ends with a '/') and Maildir together without error?

If I can't do any of this I'm going to have to patch the source - which I don't want to do.

Thanks to those who responded to my create maildir question. I might steal stuff from Erik's patch if I have to do other patches. Otherwise I'll do it in maildroprc.

Thanks for any additional help,
