Maybe "url_mount"? Naming is one of the toughest problems :<

Sorry about wasting your time! Yeah, "mainrepo" is a bad name,
especially with v2 :<
I guess we can shift to "inboxdir" and keep the old alias
indefinitely for compatibility, since there's already INBOX_DIR
all over the documentation.
I originally intended for each inbox to have another repo
for rejected/spam messages; but just put it in PI_EMERGENCY,
instead.
