From the doc (smtpd.conf(5)):

   maildir [pathname [junk]]
                     Deliver the message to the maildir in pathname if
                     specified, or by default to ~/Maildir.

So given your config, you seem to get exactly what you configured.

For your "whitelist", create the match rules for your domains, and for everything else use a reject rule at the end.

I got a mail, which lies in Maildir, however no mailbox is configured. Is there 
a default mailbox in alpine and how do I access the mail contents in

~/Maildir

My mails are under

~/Maildir/new/

Also, how do I whitelist email ids, say, I want mails only from

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

That's it, no other mails.
Thanking you

How do I do that? What CLI tool do I use?

While starting the daemon, the configuration is OK as given in prompt.

With the DNS configuration I have, where can I send a mail, at 
[email protected] or at [email protected] ?

Thanking you

I'm facing an issue similar to a person a while ago available on archive. I use alpine, and the conf is as below

There is nothing in the mailbox.


Are you looking with alpine, or with CLI tools like ls? Use CLI tools to check that you've configured smtpd to store incoming mail where you think you have.

I go so far as to use raw IPv6 for personal mailbox on various overlay mesh vpns like Cjdns and Yggdrasil (giving you personal authenticated IPs independent of any ISP). I just caught up with an online friend that moved from Hawaii to New York. Still works despite changes in ISP and ICANN domains.
