I've followed this guide to get postfix set up. I've not completed it yet, as from sending test emails, email is no longer being delivered since switching to Maildir from mbox.
I have created a Maildir directory with cur, new and tmp sub directories.
~$ ll
drwxrwxr-x 5 greg greg 4096 2012-07-07 16:40 Maildir/
~$ ll Maildir/
drwxrwxr-x 2 greg greg 4096 2012-07-07 16:40 cur
drwxrwxr-x 2 greg greg 4096 2012-07-07 16:40 new
drwxrwxr-x 2 greg greg 4096 2012-07-07 16:40 tmp
Send a test email.

Hi,
Just testing.

quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
Check the mail queue.
~$ mailq
Mail queue is empty
Check if mail has been delivered.
~$ ls -l Maildir/new
total 0
Some postfix settings:
~$ sudo postconf home_mailbox
home_mailbox = Maildir/
~$ sudo postconf mailbox_command
mailbox_command =
/var/log/mail.log
