/* Step 2: edit the postfix main.cf */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
Note the virtual_mailbox_base parameter.  This is where mail for virtual users is delivered to and stored.  This mail is kept separate from mail for system users.  Since we are using Maildir/ style mailboxes, for each user postfix will deliver to the proper Maildir structure under /var/spool/vmail .  The first time an email is delivered, and the structure under /var/spool/vmail does not yet exist for the user, postfix will create the directories.  It is important that postfix have write permission to the /var/spool/vmail folder.  Another important consideration is that later, when we configure dovecot so users can pop or imap in to read their mail, it use the same path for mail_location.
