[Gllug] Postfix won't use Maildirs!

Evenin' all.

I'm having a play with Postfix and Maildir's but not having a whole lot of
luck.

I've set the parameter in /etc/postfix/main.cf

home_mailbox = Maildir/

but it keeps delivering the mail to a mbox in /var/spool/mail even after
restarting Postfix (and the machine!)

Here are my custom parameters:

wt-linux-04:~# postconf -n
alias_maps = ldap:ldapalias
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
canonical_maps = ldap:ldapalias
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
home_mailbox = Maildir/
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
mydestination = wt-linux-04, localhost.localdomain, , localhost,
1international.com
mydomain = 1international.com
myhostname = wt-linux-04
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
myorigin = $mydomain
program_directory = /usr/lib/postfix
recipient_delimiter = +
setgid_group = postdrop
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU)
wt-linux-04:~#

and here is /var/log/mail.log after sending a mail through telnet
localhost 25

Jul 15 22:07:39 wt-linux-04 postfix/local[14871]: 63D4BC57F:
to=<smorris at wt-linux-04>, relay=local, delay=19, status=sent ("|procmail
-a "$EXTENSION"")

... which looks pretty normal.

It's running on Woody testing and postfix is version: 1.1.11.0-3

The same action on RH 9.0 creates a new Maildir if required and delivers
the mail.

Any suggestions very welcome!
