Michael,

I've been working on a script that takes a fresh CentOS install 
(http://www.centos.org) and turns it into a secure email server using 
postfix, dovecot, clamav and spam assassin, all using Maildir.  The 
script is still a bit raw, but it may help you to see what changes you'd 
need to make to ensure that everything works well with Maildir.  Note:  
CentOS is a RHEL 3 rebuild distro.

The script can be found here:

HTH,
