Dovecot LMTP tries to access a directory of a different user, than the one it actually changed to.

Hello, I encountered a problem when trying to send an email to multiple 
recipients.

Jul  3 12:34:57 dhcp90 dovecot: lmtp(24106): Disconnect from local: 
Client quit
==========


The setup is as follows:
All users have /bin/false instead of a shell.
Each user has a unique UID but they all have 1 GID (800)
My MTA is sendmail
I am using dovecot-lmtp for local delivery
Mailbox format is mbox
Configured managesieve plugin to listen on 4190. (not sure if this is 
even related but it might)

The problem I see is that lmtp(user1) tries to access the home directory 
/home/user2 and I cannot figure out the reason why.
This only happens when sending mails to multiple recipients.
I see the that lmtp complains that it doesn't have execute permissions. 
But I don't want to place execute permissions for others on the entire 
/home/* dir structure.
Also, 700 are the default creation permissions. So new users would have 
to be chmod'ed manually. (unless there is a setting in dovecot)

I used "mailx" to send a test email to multiple recipients
`echo "test message" | mailx -s "subject" -r vader at
dhcp90.#####
han.solo at dhcp90.##### vader at dhcp90.##### tester at dhcp90.#####`
The only one who actually receives the message is han.solo at 
dhcp90.##### and

The same happens with aliases in /etc/aliases.
`echo "group test" | mailx -s "subject" -r vader at
dhcp90.#####
grouplist at dhcp90.#####`
"grouplist" is defined in /etc/aliases and contains the same users as
in
the log

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Here is my dovecot configuration:

=== `dovecot -n` ==# 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

as far as I remember there had been (or is) a bug in Dovecot, that 
privilegues are not changed correctly when delivering to another user. If 
that's the case, limit the number of recipients per LMTP message to 1, see 
r= field in mailer definition in op.me.

That bug exists for some time

http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-September/097688.html

but no solution exists and I think no one actually tried to fix it.

(no solution beside already mentioned ugly workaround with limiting to 1 
recipient per lmtp session)

Dovecot LMTP tries to access a directory of a different user, than the one it actually changed to.

Adding r= field into the Mlocal definition of sendmail.cf worked out.
However, I dug around the documentation and found a macro one can define
to achieve this without having to mess around with the .cf file.

I am adding this here for anyone who might encounter the same problem.

In an .mc file, you can write:

define(`LOCAL_MAILER_MAXRCPTS',`1')

To achieve the same effect.

Thanks to all for the hints.
