OK, postfix is setup to create the virtual user's maildir if it does  
not exist, and that worked up until I setup procmail.  Now the  
message is handed off to procmailrc.common for the virtual users and  
there's no mechanism for creating the maildir ($HOME) for the new user.

I doubt I can simply do a 'mkdir $USER', although maybe.  Before I  
start breaking things though, I thought I would ask, how would you go  
about making the new user(_at_)domain(_dot_)tld folder for a new user?

Off the top of my head I know nothing about trapping for the failed chdir
but there has been discussion previously on the list about checking to see
if a directory exists prior to trying to write to it.

For creating the MAILDIR structure try doing a 'which maildirmake' on your
system. If maildirmake exists then check to see if the user's directory
already exists and if not then do a '/usr//bin/maildirmake
/usr/local/virtual/fred(_at_)kreme(_dot_)com'
