Thanks for the information.  I have one additional question, it is
probably not a Dovecot question more of a Procmail question.  I tried
adding the above code to my /etc/procmailrc file but it did not work.  Do
I have to put that code in each users .procmailrc file?  I would prefer to
just put it in on a system wide basis.

My current /etc/procmailrc file has this line:

DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/

Do I keep that line and put the above Deliver code in?  And if so, do I
keep the DEFAULT line at the top or after the Deliver code?

Thanks,
Jeff
