No, we're not.  The /only/ difference to support this will be a new  
incoming queue runner.  Actually, not even that.  We'll just  
modifying the existing MaildirRunner to work better with the file  
system layout that I propose Postfix's virtual_mailbox_maps should be  
configured to use.

MaildirRunner /only/ manages queue/in.  Once the message is pulled  
from the incoming queue, everything else will be MTA agnostic, just  
as it is now.  No other queue will be maildir based (just as they  
aren't now).

It's just one class, and if you don't have Postfix or don't have  
virtual domains, or just don't like the idea at all, then you just  
keep the regular IncomingRunner you've got now and keep delivering to  
the post program.  Nothing changes.
