Thanks for all the good help. The problem was that there was no .qmail file in the user's home directory, and that it needs to be chmod'ed to 644. I also did a chmod -R 755 Maildir, and that did the trick. I sent two test messages, one using IP's and the other using DNS. Both of them worked. This is my first mail server, and this is really cool stuff! -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Bakken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 8:38 AM To: Qmail List Subject: Local Delivery failure I keep receiving the following error message in my log file when I send a test message to the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my mail server) @400000003b1e30a20babb19c new msg 115977 @400000003b1e30a20babc13c info msg 115977: bytes 2850 from <> qp 11027 uid 507 @400000003b1e30a20d805e14 starting delivery 5: msg 115977 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @400000003b1e30a20d809c94 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @400000003b1e30a20e6d0bec delivery 5: deferral: dot-forward:_fatal:_unable_to_read_./Maildir/:_is_a_directory/ @400000003b1e30a20e6d5624 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Below is my rc file. #!/bin/sh exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward ./Maildir/' Any way you can make sense out of this mess? I am using maildir delivery as you can see, which I assume should dump the mail into the subdir /home/mailtest/Maildir/new (right?). From there pop3 should be able to deliver to local MUA's like Outlook with no problems. What am I missing here?
