A Postfix server currently delivers to /var/mail/user in mbox format. The administrator wants to switch to Maildir so users can access mail without file-locking issues over NFS. What must be configured in main.cf?

Set mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver and leave home_mailbox unset.

Set mailbox_size_limit = 0 and add 'Maildir' to the aliases file.

Set home_mailbox = Maildir/ and ensure the directory is created for each user.

Set mail_spool_directory = /var/mail and create /var/mail/user/ as a directory.
