Well, I figured it out finally. Finally had time to go back and dig a little
deeper into it.

This line apparently was messing things up:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -Y -a $DOMAIN

I'm haven't done *anything* with procmail yet, and I'll bet that procmail is
setup to put the mail in /var/spool/mail instead of a Maildir. I really
should've noticed that right away.

Commented out the procmail line and *BAM*, right in $HOME/Maildir/new.

Kickass.

I did also comment out the inet_interfaces line per your suggestion.

Thanks for the advice and patience with a newbie. :)

Now to work on spam filtering and courierIMAP.
