Re: [opensuse] Why is dovecot using user home directory?

1. Yes, but it might not. What it does depends on how sendmail/postfix has been configured. Perhaps, just perhaps, you've tried setting up spam/av checking and got it wrong under some fringe condition. Perhaps you've got some alias you weren't aware of. Perhaps there's some other fringe error. After all, Postfix is very very complex! 2. The spam/av processing can be done within procmail so why not eliminate the sendmail/postfix step and have fetchmail hand off to local procmail directly? What this boils down to is this: Do you have a good reason to apply the processing that can *only* be carried out by sendmail/procmail in this path? I poured over this and could not find any. Please note: I'm not saying "Postfix is not needed" in any universal sense. I said "in this path".
