I have the courier-mta installed and running well. I have one problem though. We are using maildirs but when the mail gets delivered, if a maildir doesn't already exist it, the maildirs don't automatically get created and the mails just get dumped into a text file. ie. if the delivery location is "./Maildir" and "/home/user/Maildir" does not exist, then "/home/user/Maildir" will be a file containing the emails (ala mbox format) rather than a Maildir.

I at first solved the problem by issuing a maildirmake in /etc/skel. However, I have a procmail script that dynamically sorts mailinglists into their own subfolders. Thus, if I subscribe to a new mailinglist, a new sub-maildir should be automatically created, but it doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?
