If you want mail delivery to custom mail-spool-files, edit the

Ok, so now I go to "src/authenticate.c" and look for 'auth_mailboxname('
and find:
const char*auth_mailboxname(pass)auth_identity*const pass;
This is the function declaration. The content of that function follows
this line in braces. However, the place you want to modify is the
definition for MAILSPOOLHOME near the beginning of the file [line 44].
(Perhaps the comment which I quote above needs to be changed. If I
have understood this correctly, that is. I also find it somewhat
baffling that this is not in the config file.)
which is Greek to me (I don't know C/C++).
It is rather brave to try to hack the source under those circumstances :-)
