Bowie,

I am not sure this is a problem with the Maildir directory.  It appears
that Courier will not even attempt to deliver the mail for one of my
virtual users.  The mail is returned with a "User not found" error.

Courier defaults to looking for a maildir in "$HOME/Maildir".  In
your case, "/home/<actual user>/<username>/Maildir".

You can override this with the MAIL attribute in userdb, but it is
not usually a good idea.  It can cause other problems later.  Your
best bet is to just create the directory that Courier expects to
find.

 su - <actual user> -c "/usr/local/courier/bin/maildirmake /home/<actual
user>/<username>/Maildir"
