This is a fresh install, I haven't changed anything except adding
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

Output from postconf -n:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin ddd
$daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = localhost
inet_protocols = all
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.10.1/README_FILES
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.10.1/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550

Thanks!!

the mail transfer agent (postfix) needs a mail delivery agent for 
locally delivered mail, in traditional email systems this was often 
procmail or fetchmail. dovecot is a mail client, although it contains an 
optional local delivery agent.      a bit of googling found

This is incorrect.  Postfix comes with it's own lda (local(8)) which
fills this role.  It is true that it can use a 3rd party lda but it is
not necessary.

To the OP:

Set: "home_mailbox = Maildir/" in main.cf.
