what?!

i do find it hard to beleive that Postfix, the paragon of MTA's, would
break that badly a very basic Maildir delivery like that.

i'm seriously shocked and appalled. i hope that you are mistaken, and
that it does do proper Maildir deliveries. i'd hate to have to rescind
my blanket recomendaton of Postfix to a qualified recomendation of
Postfix with non-Maildir deliveries.

no, i don't feel like looking through the Postfix code to see what it
really does.
