I have seen the scripts suggested but they fall short of setting the right
permisions, you can try out this below.
#!/bin/bash
for i in `awk -F: '{print $1}' /etc/passwd`
do
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /home/$i/Maildir
chown $i:users /home/$i/Maildir
echo /home/$i/Maildir/ >~/.qmail
chown -R $i:users /home/$i
done
