What is the difference between the home_mailbox and the
mail_spool_directories?


# The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a # mailbox file relative to a user's home directory. The default # mailbox file is /var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user. Specify # "Maildir/" for qmail-style delivery (the / is required). /var/spool/mail/user is not a relative path so is the documentation incorrect?

# The mail_spool_directory parameter specifies the directory where
# UNIX-style mailboxes are kept. The default setting depends on the
# system type.


When mail arrives to the smtp server, it is stored in the mail_spool_directory?

If home_mailbox and mail_spool_directory are mutually exclusive (as I
suspect) then why the seperate parameters?


# The queue_directory specifies the location of the Postfix queue. # This is also the root directory of Postfix daemons that run chrooted. # See the files in examples/chroot-setup for setting up Postfix chroot # environments on different UNIX systems.

The queue_directory is only for sending mail?
