Thanks for the quick response.
All I did was add 7 new users to a system that already had 10 users
setup and working correctly. (Setup by somebody else, by the way)
For a windows based guy, qmail is a little difficult to figure out. I
simply copied and renamed one of the existing users Maildir folders.
Then I copied and renamed one of the existing Alias folders and
edited the home directory name for each new user. I've checked
the permissions and owernship on the Maildir folder and sub-folders
and they are identical to the users who are working correctly.
I even traced the source of the error down in the qmail-local source
code, but not being a C programmer wasn't able to find the source
of the subroutine that causes case 2 to occur.
I've made the assumption that the error (chdir) refers to qmail's inability
to change (to the users) directory but I can't find any difference between
the working users directories from the ones I set up.
Does this help ...?
