This has nothing to do with dovecot, its the MDA

How do I get sendmail or what ever MTA processes mail to write to Maildir rather than /var/spool/sendmail?

First you need to find out what SMTP server you are using, if it is sendmail, it will work with maildir, but its much much more involved to get it to, since its internal MDA mail.local, is mbox - better to avoid headaches since you seem rather new at this, and use postfix (if you're not already) since maildir (and mbox) is native to it, place in main.cf

home_mailbox = Maildir/

long time since I've used system user accounts, but it should work then.
