Couldn't chdir to "//Maildir" - Postfix, Dovecot, Procmail, Spamassassin

Recently, I installed a web/mail/dns server with mail setups; Postfix,
Dovecot, and Procmail. The OS is CentOS (RHEL4). The mail seems to
working fine, except the following error message I get with Logwatch.
All of the users recieve their email. I have tried to chase down the
error with no avail. I was thinking a pathing issue becasue of
"//procmail_log" and such, but I don't have a trailing slash in the
/etc/procmailrc file, or in the Postfix main.cf file. I have included
some config file info for help.


Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

change MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir to MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ and
home_mailbox = Maildir to home_mailbox = Maildir/

I think that should solve your problem.
Have a closer look at your main.cf - there is especially mentioned,
that the trailing slash is required!

Well, it seemed to be a Dovecot issue. When I commented out the main.cf
aspects of home_mailbox, and reloaded Postfix, I was ok. Seemes Dovecot
wants to step over the Postfix settings.

Problem solved.
