I want Postfix to create a Maildir if it does not exist when delivering the
first mail for a user. This is doable when using virtual, and it works quite
well. In this situation though we are using an Samba/Winbind for our
authentication (which works quite well). I can get pam_mkhomedir to create
directories if a user logs in, but we don't want users to have to login to
get a $HOME and $HOME/Maildir created.

In qmail I can specify MAKEHOMEDIR (I think that is the compile-time option)
and create a script dirmaker.sh to do this. Is there anything for Postfix
like this?

Again, I know that virtual can do this, but we aren't using virtual, and I
don't know of a way to trick virtual into working with our pam/winbind setup
just so that we can use this very useful feature.

Something that looks very promising is mailbox_command, but I have never
used this command before. Has anyone used mailbox_command to implement this
functionality?

I am using Postfix 2.0.x.
