you need to create the /var/spool/mail/example.com directory. after that, postfix will create the maildir for each user.
That doesn't work... If I create the domain directory, the dir for the user won't be created either.
I am assuming that you deliver with virtual (and not with an external MDA).
I'm a bit confused about what I use now... In main.cf is says: mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"which was a default value after installation (note: it's a Ubuntu system). In master.cf there are following lines:
maildrop unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient}
maildrop was not installed before. In the database tables I created
while going through the tutorial was a "transport" column which
defaults to "virtual:"; but I cannot see where this column is read.
So...?

send the welcome mail when you create the account in postfixadmin.. The Maildirs are not created until a mail is delivered.
Hell, yeah! That worked now! After I installed postfixadmin, the mail sending process took so long that the apache crashed (no process lived after submitting the form that should add new mailboxes :o!), so I commented that thing out. Thanks for that hint... The domain folder is created, too. Great :)!
However that still doesn't make sense to me, that the "reader" (IMAP) "crashes" when there is no directory and the writer (MDA) needs to create the directory. If I don't want to send the welcome mail I have to initiate the Maildir creation process on my own. What would be the best way to do that? Using procmail oder maildrop? Or is there a way without using another software?
Thank you all that helped and mailed! Regards, Matthias
