I'm trying to configure Postfix for Maildir,
(Maildir is the wau to go, no ?)
I've edited /etc/postfix/main.cf
..
home_mailbox = Maildir/
..
no other dirs were specified
I then sent an email to 'voytek@(thishost)
that worked OK, and, Postfix created a dir structure below
# ls -l /home/voytek/Maildir
drwx------ 2 voytek voytek 4096 Aug 18 23:08 cur
drwx------ 2 voytek voytek 4096 Aug 18 23:23 new
drwx------ 2 voytek voytek 4096 Aug 18 23:23 tmp
I then tried to reply to the email, to see if Postfix will create Maildir
for 'root' as well, like it did for 'voytek', BUT, I'm getting a bounce:

This is the Postfix program at host
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: maildir delivery failed: create
/var/spool/postfix/Maildir/tmp/1061212376.3171_0.(thishost):
Permission denied
----
# ls -l /var/spool/
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Jul 29 05:52 postfix
- am I supposed to alter permissions on /var/spool/postfix/ ?
or, have I got something misconfigured ?
to summarize:
after editing Postfix to support Maildir format, sending mail to user
'voytek' DID create /home/voytek/Maildir tree, but, replying to user 'root'
generates an error
