Interesting. What is "dmail"? I still recommend Courier-IMAP instead of
UW-IMAP, though. ;>

I'm not saying this is wrong, but I find that if possible, the following
seems like a more optimized solution:
Maildrop + Postfix/QMail/Exim + Courier-IMAP
More information on the components (especially on why Maidlrop vs
Procmail):
Maildrop <http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/>
Courier-IMAP <http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/>
Getting Maildrop working with Postfix is as easy as having this line in
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/maildrop -d $USER

The thing with using Maildrop is that it's recipes are a whee bit
different from Procmail's. I think they're easier to use, but if you're
familiar with Procmail, you have to re-learn things of course. The global
/etc/maildroprc or /etc/courier/maildroprc depending on your package is
pretty easy to configure. In particular mine contains the single line:
DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir/"
So that mail gets sent where it belongs. I have yet to figure out the
following, though:
1. What schema I can use so that OpenLDAP can contain the "Maildir" field.
2. How to get Maildrop to use this Maildir field to figure out where to
put the users' mail.
When I figure out how to do these two I can put users' mail somewhere
instead of in their home directories (so they don't delete their Maildirs
which a number of users have done a couple of times now).
