[Dovecot] Mail error in log

Hi All,

I am getting the following in the mail error log

deliver(julie): safe_mkstemp(/home/julie/.temp.geomail.10443.) failed:
Permission denied

This is correct julie does not have access to write to her home directory

Julie is a system user who is chrooted so her home is owned by root,
this is for when she logs in via sftp to retrieve files she can only
access folders below her home.

I am using Maildir and julie does have access  to ~Maildir, is there
any reason why deliver is attempting to use her user directory and not
her Maildir?

Cheers

Ian
