I still did not get an answer to that question. How should we help you if
you don't provide any useful input what is happening on your system.
a) does delivery work if there the homedir and maildir exists?
b) does it work if only the homedir exists?
c) does "su vmail -c `cat /var/qmail/control/dirmaker` /var/vmail/admin
./Maildir" create at least the directory /var/vmail/admin?
If the answer is no: what returns "`cat /var/qmail/control/dirmaker`"?
d) if all above questions are YES inject a mail and send us the output of
qmail-send (running with LOGLEVEL=255).
Unless you answer a - c with YES or NO and provied the additional info I
can't help you. Sorry.

If nothing changed then debugging is not turned on because with debugging
on the log output will be very different (much more verbose).
