Interesting one this. Done a bit more research.
home is another db field which should resolve to /var/spool/mail/virtual
for all users. But it doesn't seem to want to play ball and simply
inserts the text instead. Amending the line as per your suggestion above
has worked just fine. Now set to concat('/var/spool/mail/virtual',name)
Cheers,
Graeme
