Hi,

I installed qmail in this order..

MySQL Version 3.22.32
tcpserver (ucspi-tcp-0.88)
qmail-1.03

qmail was working fine. Mails were being deleiverd to Mailbox file.

I switched to Maildir format according to instructions in qmail's
INSTALL.maildir file. I logged in as root and executed :

        ./maildirmake ~user1/Maildir
        echo ./Maildir/ > ~user1/.qmail

for all the users (have only a few users...for testing)

I also excuted:

        ./maildirmake /etc/skel/Maildir
        echo ./Maildir/ > /etc/skel/.qmail

so that all new users are created with proper Maildirs.

Step-4 of qmail's INSTALL file says...

4. Read INSTALL.ctl and FAQ. Minimal survival command:

And according to the FAQ file...

According to FAQ's question 5.1:
5.1. How do I run qmail-smtpd under tcpserver?

I setup in inet.conf file the following (since I have tcpserver
installed)

   tcpserver -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &

(I have replaced 7770 and 2108 with my qmaild uid and nofiles gid)

According to FAQ's question 5.3:
5.3. How do I set up qmail-pop3d? 

I setup in /etc/inetd.conf the following...

   tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup YOURHOST \
   /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &

(Since I have tcpserver installed) I've replaced YOURHOST with my host
name. I have also installed the checkpassword programs.

Now, I can connect to my system on port 25 using telnet and send local
mails using SMTP commands. But mails are not being delivered to mailbox
or Maildir.

I checked the file /var/log/maillog file. But it
says...Unable_to_open_./Maildir

What could be wrong? Please help
