Mail server questions

Hello to all,

 

BSD newbie here, running 6.2 on a core 2 quad system I built. 

 

I'm Trying to get a secure mail server going and running into some snags:

 

First things first - After installing postfix (which seems to work when
testing) and cyrus-sasl2, I opted for the Maildir/ config option in my
main.cf but no ~/user/Maildir/ was every created. I also installed Dovecot
IMAP and Procmail as I continued in the process thinking they might pick up
the slack. Still no generated Maildir/. When I try to check /var/spool/mail,
there are also no user folders present. Was there a step in the process I
missed? Everything was installed from a freshly cvsup'd and portsnap'd ports
tree with no compile errors to speak of.
