No one at MandrakeSoft will ever fix this permantly, it's a totally ignored issue. I thought you, of all would understand the purpose of this package, I must have been mistaking.This is a dumb way to do things. If it can't go into etcskel, then each Maildir aware application should attempt to make the entry to /etc/skel. Actually, if postfix did this, it would be enough. Chances are, if someone is going to use something Maildir-aware, they will either a) install postfix or b) install no MTA (to install qmail later, for example). So postfix would likely be installed before any users are added. Having this in contribs is just an extra package people won't think to install, and one additional dependency.
as for me i'm still waiting for an answer: http://archives.mandrakelinux.com/cooker/2003-01/msg04580.php
postfix is configured by default to let procmail do the job. and procmail is configured to mbox by default. we can change to maildir. procmail mkdir() if necessary.
the pb is for update, and user that wants to login and that do not have any mail. for example people having a POP auth before SMTP. their mail comes from another server, and never receied mail on this POP/IMAP server but need to login.
thus we need to have it by default for all users.
