I'd like to know what you think about updating our Postfix virtual delivery hooks to use this technique, and about making Maildir delivery the default. We'd keep the old way around for MTAs that don't support Maildir (which would be...?) but we'd deprecate that delivery mechanism.
One thing I'm not sure of is the minimum version of Postfix this would tie us to. On OS X 10.4 it looks like I've got Postfix 2.1.5 and according to postconf, it supports the necessary variables.
I love the idea. A fork/exec per message always makes me twitch... I have a feeling it would also provide better fault-tolerance, especially in a replicated filesystem cluster, where you have clear atomic behaviour at your disposal.
