Hi,
1) 'Life with qmail' is excellent but try
http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html
it is my favourite HOWTO (thaaanks to Adam McKenna)
2) Unable_to_open_./Maildir:_is_a_directory._(#4.2.1) / error means that either
you have bad Maildir structure or missing slash after ./Maildir/ in rc file
so, make sure you have there something like:
----cut-----
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward
./Maildir/'
----cut-----
and for right Maildir structure use this:
% /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
% echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail
then you will get Maildir with 3 folders inside (cur,new,tmp)
and necessary .qmail file content
it works - just tested on me :-)
