Hi Doug,
"home" from your userdb query will dictate where mail will be dropped.
If you want to store in /var/mail/home_mail/
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables
The domain part is added by postfix. Postfix most often requires some kind of domain, and if not added will append one (unless you have an unorthodox configuration). It's not recommended to remove this feature from your postfix configuration.

I am running a small server with a fixed number of users. Postfix is using dovecot lda so that I can run pigeonhole. I have setup a user file with the ids and passwords and everything authenticates properly. Postfix uses that also. However, mail is consistently delivered to user@domain. How do I tell it to deliver to just user? I have tried setting a variety of different things like:
10-mail.conf:mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/home_mail/%u
userdb { driver = static args = uid=2222 gid=2222 home=/var/mail/home_mail/%u }
and a few other things. None of them affected the mailbox location.
Fortunately, this is a test system as I probably have mucked up the config files by now.— Doug
