dovecot - May 2004 - Dovecot chrooting

hello all i am new to dovecot and i have a small problem. I use qmail as a pop3
server and dovecot as imap. my rc script is as follows:
-----snip-----
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|preline procmail' splogger qmai
-----end-----
thus i deliver mails through procmail so all mails are located to
/var/spool/mail.
The problem exists when i tested chrooting and found it a very good idea to jail
all my users.. *but*
still qmail delivers mails to the real /var/spool/mail and not to the
/home/chrootusers/var/spool/mail so that dovecot can pick them up. Is there any
special configuration in dovecot.conf in order to chroot the /var/spool/mail to
/home/chrootusers ?
some of my conf:

login_chroot = yes
valid_chroot_dirs = /home/chrootusers
mail_chroot = /var/spool/mail
default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

PS: tell me if you need more of the dovecot.conf
PS2: sorry for my english its not my native

It isn't possible to chroot to more than one directory. Pretty much the 
only possibility is to make qmail deliver the mail to ~/mail/inbox.
