So is this from default_mail_env? To me it looks like that entry should
have worked..

In beta4 I've also changed the format a bit (the old format should still
work too). With it you could try this:

test:{PLAIN}some_password:30003:30003::/home/vmail/domain/test:/bin/false:mail=maildir:%h/Maildir

There's no need to give :INBOX=%h/Maildir separately.
