It isn't, usually, but we can take a stab at it. I would guess that you're
trying to deliver to Maildirs in $HOME as your default delivery policy, but
the argument to qmail-start is missing the trailing slash, so qmail is looking
for an mbox named "Maildir" -- not quite what you want. This argument might
be encoded in a file in /var/qmail/control, or might be in whatever script you
use to start qmail (an rc script, or a svscan-style script).
In future, you probably want to supply the following information with reports.
It would have made it possible to diagnose this problem with certainty:
-unedited output of `qmail-showctl`
-cut & paste copies of relevant log entries from qmail and/or qmail-smtpd
-a copy of the script you use to start qmail
-general information on how you installed and configured qmail
