maildir is mail storage, not delivery. I use claws-mail with postfix and
it's just a matter of setting the SMTP server to localhost, or wherever
your postfix server lives.

How do you collect mail? It's probably easiest to let postfix store
incoming mail in a local maildir store and run a local IMAP/POP server -
I use dovecot for this.
