Ok, I found out that since I had installed procmail that it was actually 
handling the delivery of the mail. Because of that I needed to change 
the command to look like this in the main.cf file

mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" 
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir

Once I did that the user mail was stored in a maildir format.

My new question is that after sending a message from root to the user 
and I su to the user and run the mail command, it says no mail for 
username. However the message is in the new directory.

Any ideas?
