Question: PostFix Mail

PostFix: I've done the typical searching around on Google, and I'm not having much luck, I'm setting up a mail server using PostFix, with Courier-Pop, procmail and Spamassassin, and my mail isn't being delivered into $HOME/Maildir. Instead it's going to /var/mail/spool. I'm running Debian Woody and the latest version of everything else. I've double checked every config file I can find but there's something I'm missing...

Your main.cf needs to have something like:
home_mailbox = .maildir/

The trailing / is the important part.

Have you put

DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/

in your .procmailrc?

I have the same problem.

cmm - Tried that. Even specifying the trailing slash doesn't make it use Maildir format.
