Hi Jan,

Thanks for your info. I am sorry that I don't get your point.

I may described too complicated in previous post. I wanna make it simple
here:


The incorrect path is only the part on variable $USER (while email is $USER@
$DOMAIN).

%U is always = vfs username when vfs username is set, so that %U never give
me the $USER variable

%U will only = $USER when vfs username is NOT set.


In my server, I cannot create many FTP accounts for so many email users,
hence I must set vfs username to use single FTP account to upload all
users' .mailfilter , and the vfs path (or even vfsroot) requires
$DOMAIN/$USER variables (/path/to/vo.demo360.net/test)
. In this case it seems never meet my requirement and I need to modify the
PHP src.
