Do I need to install additional packages that move mail to the user's /Maildir?

This is indicative of misconfiguration with mail being delivered to /var/mail/whatever instead of /home/whatever/Maildir. Check your configuration again to ensure it's delivering as you wish. Alternatively, post _all_ content from /etc/postfix/{main,master}.cf for review.

This is a fresh install, I haven't changed anything except adding mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

Output from postconf -n:

the mail transfer agent (postfix) needs a mail delivery agent for locally delivered mail, in traditional email systems this was often procmail or fetchmail. dovecot is a mail client, although it contains an optional local delivery agent. a bit of googling found http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix

This is incorrect. Postfix comes with it's own lda (local(8)) which fills this role. It is true that it can use a 3rd party lda but it is not necessary.

To the OP:

Set: "home_mailbox = Maildir/" in main.cf.

You shouldn't use mailscanner anyways, it relys on direct manipulation of

the

postfix queue files which is unsupported by postfix. Consider amavisd-new and spamassassin/clamav instead.

I sent a test mail from root to tdukes but its not being delivered to ~/Maildir

as I said in another post, you need to set:

home_mailbox = Maildir/

...in main.cf. Note that the trailing slash means it will be delivered in

maildir

format (which is likely what you want), if you would rather that local(8) deliver in mbox format then omit the trailing slash.

Have been using mailscanner with postfix for years with no problems..

I do believe it does not work with 7.3. It does not start postfix as it did in 6.8 and earlier versions. There may be other problems besides that as well.

Figured out it wasn't a firewall issue when I would telnet to localhost 25 and got connection refused. As soon as I started postfix manually, I could connect.

Mail works now that it has been uninstalled and adding a few things from last night that were posted.

I have setup clamav and spamassassin using this guide.

Seems to work.

Suit yourself, you've been warned.

your log from earlier showed it working, it would normally be delivered to the default location of /var/mail.

You asked how to get it to show up in ~/Maildir. That requires you set the home_mailbox setting as I previously stated.

also

export MAIL="$HOME/Maildir/"

into users .profile would help local applications (nail/mail)
