# This transport is used for local delivery to user mailboxes.
local_delivery:
    driver = appendfile
    #directory = /home/${local_part}/Maildir/
    directory = /var/spool/mail/${local_part}/
    maildir_format
    group = mail
    return_path_add
    envelope_to_add
    no_mode_fail_narrower
    create_directory



If you like qmail's wacky location for the mail spool then use the
other directory= line.
