Hi listers
maildir creation problem:

Usually, the entire chain of maildir is created automatically, just only
in this one case, it refused to work.
It was only after creating /data/postfix/maildrop/mydomain directory
manually, that delivery worked fine.
[myu...@myhost ~]$ ls -la /data/postfix/maildrop/

drwxr-xr-x 4 postfix postfix 4096 2009-10-20 10:41 mydomain

Has someone made similar experiences? What is the cause that maildir
creation does not work? On other servers, I never had such problems.
