Given that you probably want to also enable access to that mailbox for
Joe Bloggs :) you might wish to extend your thinking to using something like
pam_ldap for authentication and authorization on the mail server, so that
you could simply get the users and their home directories via PAM, and leave
it to appendfile driver's 'create_file = belowhome' option to worry about that.
Of course, if you'll only let them use the mail server e.g. via a web
frontend which will also use LDAP directly, then that's probably needless.
