I'm setting up a small cluster, and using qmail for my mail services, so
far, nothing special :)
There are, at the moment, 2 realservers in the cluster, they each have
their queue on the local disk, no problems there. The problem however, is
the Maildir delivery. I am using a shared filesystem, using OpenAFS, to
store the maildirs, so both servers can access the same maildir, and all
mail ends up in the same place. However, every time I try to send my test
user a message, I get a temporary error on maildir delivery.
I'll describe my setup below, maybe someone sees the problem right away?
I've been kicking it around for over a day now, and couldn't find any
working solution..

First, I assumed it was a permissions problem, but after doing 'su -
qmailq', I verified qmailq can write to the maildir just fine. So, the big
question, does anyone have a clue as to why this isn't working? Doesn't
qmail like the symlinked popboxes dir perhaps? If so, any suggestions on
how to get it to use a shared maildir? I'm not (willing to) use NFS, so
that's not an option :)
if there's any information I should have included, please let me know and
I'll provide it.
