Me too...

In a first time, yes, for various reasons:

- I haven't checked in the code whether that /./ convention applies to non-system users
- your global config
	valid_chroot_dirs = /srv/mail
doesn't, strictly speaking, apply to directories below /srv/mail
- those chrooting matters often come with their own problems: better be sure to have everything working without in a first time

Since you're already providing the home directory thru the passdb/userdb databases, lets simplify...
On the other hand, having all maildir data in its own subdirectory, rather than the home directory itself, appears safer to me.
