The Dovecot IMAP/POP server also includes a delivery agent which is quite popular, and it works similarly, by adding an entry to master.cf as a pipe service (there may be other possibilities, I'm not sure). > In particular I am wondering if there are any subtle differences between the > Maildir format > used by Postfix's virtual (which I suspect uses standard Maildir since it > doesn't appear to > have a use for folders), Courier (which seems to use 'Maildir++') and > maidaig (which > presumably must have some form of extension if it is delivering mail into > folders).

Wikipedia tells me maildir++ is a "compatible violation" of the maildir standard, so maybe maidag can deliver to maildir++ as well.
