Hi Jonathan
Ok, I can't solve your problem but like to think I can lead you down the
right path.
The first thing you need to understand is that postfix (your MTA) does
not deliver your mail. Your MDA does - most likely procmail.
In your main.cf you will find two parameters that are related to this,
most likely with these settings:
mail_spool_directory = /var/spool/mail
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
So, I think you want to look into the procmail options. postfix provides
all the necessary info needed to specify the sool file, in your case
/var/spool/vmail/$EXTENSION/$LOCAL, you just need to figure out how to get
procmail to use it :)
Or try a different MDA.
