Correction. Yes it should be /home/Patrick/Maildir/new/
My mistake. Yes it is a sendmail problem.

| Hello all.
|
|
|
| I appreciate the responses to my problem on v0.99.14. Thank you all.

|
|
| We have built a new server running version 1.0-0_15.beta9.el4. The mail
| delivery agent is sendmail. We seem to have gotten it up fairly easily.
But
| we have one problem. We are using the maildir feature instead of mbox and
| when ever mail gets delivered, it is not sending it to the \maildir\new
| folder. It seems to be dumping it in the root of the maildir directory,
thus
| when a client checks for email, it appears nothing is there.
Tell us the exact path where the mail ends up since \maildir\new is NOT
a Unix file path.
Mail should be delivered to /home/patrick/Maildir/new/
If it is not ending there, it's Sendmail problem, not Dovecot.

Wherever the mail ends, you can fix that default_mail_env to get it....
Let's know where Sendmail delivers the mail (I mean the directory path).
