Apologies if this turns out to be a pathetic newbie question but...

I am running postfix (postfix-1.1.12-1, standard RH9) with maildirs and
so use maildrop as the final delivery agent. For the moment I am using
rpmbuild with the tarball from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/courier/maildrop-1.6.3.tar.bz2

Everything works effectively out of the box. The issue is that the
default delivery destination is the mailbox in /var/spool/mail rather
than the maildir in ~/Maildirs. Dan Alderman who runs a not dissimilar
set up chose to manually edit the files and recompile to change the
default behaviour whereas I am choosing to use a final `to "Maildirs"'
in my .mailfilter and use maildrop as distributed.

You'll need to modify the spec file and add the --with-default-maildrop=./Maildir option to the configure script invocation.
