Sendmail used as MTA on BlueQuartz doesn't deliver mail into Maildir format.
To do that you shoud use maildrop.
For this :
1. install maildrop
2. configure sendmail's mc file
3. rebuild sendmail.cf
The option in sendmail.mc should be similar to :
[...]
FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/bin/maildrop',`maildrop -d $u')dnl
[...]
But one important problem is maildrop do not build the Maildir tree, and
this directories must be created before any mail delevery.
I've heard about a maildroprc that build the Maildir tree, but can't
find where :(
Or you can make some change in BQ's script use to create user to call
maildirmake.
Then you should use an POP/IMAP daemon that support Maildir format.
(Courier-imap ?)
So this is possible but not easy.
Best regards,
