If you want to keep maildirs separate from homedirs, then you should use authldap instead of authpam.

As an alternative approach, I used authuserdb for this. I wrote a simple script to build the userdb from the password file on a semi-irregular basis. I then redefined the user's home directory to be in my /var/mail partition (our home directory NFS servers are not even mounted on this box, and I want to keep it that way.) I found this to be a simple solution with excellent performance in our environment. Definitely much simpler than maintaining an LDAP server for this purpose alone, which is what I would have had to do.
