"postconf -d" will print out your Postfix default settings, not the actual. Better issue "postconf | grep "home_mailbox". > dovecot -n shows this: > mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir Right. > /etc/postfix/main.cf has this: > > home_mailbox = Maildir/ Right. This should override the previous default empty setting. Remember to reload (or restart) Postfix for the change to be applied (/etc/init.d/ postfix reload) > /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf has this: > dovecot.conf:mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir > > I'm still getting mail in /var/mail > what am I missing? "home_mailbox" has preference over "mail_spool_directory" but is has to be defined. Try by reloading postfix.
