    I am setting up a small office mail server. The idea is to use it so
    that our outgoing mail shows as . The current
    state is that we are using our providers smtp server for sending mail
    and our hosting service for receiving mail.

    Outlook is set like this:

    receiving mail server: mail.powercoreeng.com (astrahosting)
    sending mail server: smtp.broadband.rogers.com
    reply to:

    during the next 2 weeks we will be switch office locations and
    internet providers. Our new service will have a static IP. Our current
    service is dynamic ip, I am just working on getting the config set so
    that it will be ready to go when we move.

    The problem I am having is with setting up Maildir/ style mail boxes.
    With setting like this it delivers mail to /var/spool/mail in mbox
    style.

    server john # postconf -n
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
    config_directory = /etc/postfix
    mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
    mydestination = $mydomain, $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
    mydomain = powercoreeng.com
    myhostname = server
    myorigin = $mydomain
    notify_classes = resource, software, protocol

    these are the settings I have for Maildir/ style

    server john # postconf -n
    alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
    config_directory = /etc/postfix
    home_mailbox = Maildir/
    mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
    mydestination = $mydomain, $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
    mydomain = powercoreeng.com
    myhostname = server
    myorigin = $mydomain
    notify_classes = resource, software, protocol

    The log looks like this
