Neither $user, nor %u seems to working. The mail keeps going to
$HOME/Maildir/

I'm trying to setup a mail server using Postfix and courier-imap.
However, the documentation is a bit confusing. In /etc/postfix/main.cf
it says:
# DELIVERY TO MAILBOX
#
# The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a
# mailbox file relative to a user's home directory. The default
# mailbox file is /var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user. Specify
# "Maildir/" for qmail-style delivery (the / is required).
#
#home_mailbox = Mailbox
#home_mailbox = Maildir/
This is confusing because on the one hand it says you specify the
pathname relative to the user's home dir. But then is says the default
is /var/spool/mail/user. The only way I could make it work is to create
a Maildir directory in my home using "maildirmake." However, I would
rather have the Maildir be in /var/spool/mail. So.. what do I have to do
in order to make the Maildir reside in /var/spool/mail/user?
Thanks,
Walter
I think postfix has a $user variable that can be used to substitute the
username, though I haven't verified this so you'll want to test.
Anyway, doing something like
home_mailbox = /var/spool/mail/$user
should do the trick.
