Hello,

I have been looking to try and make this work for the last two days. However I can not manage to create the maildir for a new user when this receives a new email.

You should create a new user's maildir at the same time you create the account. It is not the mail server's job to create maildirs. A mail server's job is to deliver mail to maildirs, not create them.

I did look on the internet but everything I tried failed. The first thing I tried was this:

maildirmake "$HOME/$USER"

and then I passed to this:

'maildirmake "$HOME/$USER"'

I copied these commands from two scripts I found on the internet. However I had no luck.

Copying random scripts from somewhere on the Internet is not likely to be very successful. Half the time, whoever wrote them doesn't know any better than you.
