Re: [vps-mail] Back to the maybe_spam folder topic

[Matt Cohen <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

$home depends on each user - so if bob@domain gets an email its at 
/usr/home/bob/  if jane gets an email its at /usr/home/jane/

Of course, if someone's home directory is specified explicitly (say 
if they have fTP access to a vhost) then it will be in whatever 
directory they live in.
