Yes. Also note that when using maildir with mail_spool_directory, the 
top-level directory must be created in advance; local(8) won't create 
them even if filesystem permissions allow; see "note" here:

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#mail_spool_directory

Another reference which might be of interest is the local(8) manual:
