Here is how it works:
Suppose a message is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If there is no mh-nmh
user, but there is user mh, then ~mh/.qmail-nmh is searched for
instructions (filter, maildrop, etc). If ~mh/.qmail-nmh does not
exist, then ~mh/.qmail-default is looked into. If ~mh/.qmail-default
does not exist, then the mail is bounced to sender saying user mh-nmh
does not exist.
To sum, mh-nmh is treated as a separate user, but all local parts of
the form mh-ext are under user mh's control. In particular, if any
of ~mh/.qmail-nmh ~mh/.qmail-default is empty, the mail appended to
~mh/Mailbox.
