Not really:

,----[ /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist ]
| # DELIVERY TO MAILBOX
| #
| # The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a

| #home_mailbox = Maildir/

procmail (or maildrop for those who don't like procmail's syntax) is 
necessary only for more advanced stuff, like sorting the mail in
