thanks for the hint with mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir.
Creating sub and sub-subfolders works.

but now, when I'm sending an email from user1 at ourdomain.at to 
user2 at ourdomain.at, the mail is delivered to the users mailbox in 
/var/spool/mail/<user2>.

How to I tell sendmail to deliver the mails to the right users Inbox 
(~/Maildir)?

We are using
# yum list | grep -i sendmail
sendmail.x86_64		8.13.8-8.el5	installed
sendmail-cf.x86_64	8.13.8-8.el5	installed

many thanks
Richard
