On the new box, instead of mail being delivered to the user in Maildir format, it is all being deposited in a Mbox file called Maildir in the 'home' directory. This has to be some simple misconfiguration but I sure can't figure out what do do.
maildrop never creates maildirs. In order for maildrop to deliver to a maildir, it must exist already. If you do not create a maildir, maildrop will create an mbox file.
A couple things I'm not clear on... where am I telling it to look for the mailfilter? On the box that works
In the delivering account's home directory.
they are in a folder called mailfilters under /home/vmail/ .... I have
The stock maildrop does not work this way.maildrop expects to read the mail filtering recipe from $HOME/.mailfilter. In your case, where you appear to specify an account's home directory as /home/vmail, maildrop would then read /home/vmail/.mailfilter
If you had a customized/patched version of maildrop that did something else, you'll have to retrace your steps and rebuild your custom version of maildrop.
Maildrop also doesn't seem to know to 'use' the Maildir format, instead it's thinking Maildir is the mailbox even though I have home_mailbox = Maildir/ in my postfix config file..
maildrop doesn't know anything what you put in a postfix configuration file. You always must precreate a maildir, before maildrop can deliver to it.
