Thank you!
It works!
Now the mystery is how did I make that file in the first place?
I'm SURE that I followed the instructions in the qmail 'INSTALL.maidir' to
create this file. (as shown below)
maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail
But the directory now exists, the telnet to the localhost has been fixed
too.
I do notice that, unlike the tcpserver instructions, it does NOT echo back
the users mail directory.
Or is that not a normal function of tcpserver under Maildir?
