I personally even want to set their login shells to /nonexistant to avoid any user problems, as long as the machine is dedicated to POP mail server only (though I don't have chances to try yet). Setting it to /nonexistant or any non-existant directory will bring the home to / ; so I guess probably it doesn't make any difference, if the login shell is specified.
