hi all.

I am trying to get postfix to deliver to a Maildir.

I have this working on my Mandrake box (local delivery), but this RedHat9
box (stand alone, separate email server) is puzzling me.

I have "home_mailbox" set to "/var/spool/mail/$user/Maildir/"

I created the following directories under /var/spool/mail/john/:
Maildir/cur
Maildir/tmp
Maildir/new
They are all owned by john:john. Other users are setup in a similar fashion.

The log file (/var/log/maillog) shows mail delivered to
john@localhost.gamehendge.com, and it says "sent (maildir)".

So, if everything is sent and delivered, but it's not in
/var/spool/mail/john/Maildir/new, where is it?

I have commented out the inet_interfaces lines and the mailbox lines in
main.cf.

Must Maildir's be in the $HOME?

thx,
john
