 I believe if you include a trailing slash it delivers as if it were a
 Maildir.

I assumed the original poster wanted Maildir due to the subject line.

Maildir prob

2000-06-14 Thread Z


how do io make sure that the messages are going to the correct place.
i keep getting errors like:

starting delivery 52: msg 869324 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: 
local 4/10 remote 0/20 delivery 49: deferral:
Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
status: local 3/10 remote 0/20 

I want it send to ~/Mailbox

Thanks.

your ~/.qmail file must contain ``./Mailbox'' (relative to the user's
home directory, or the full path, e.g. ``/home/username/Mailbox''.

The mailbox and .qmail should not be publicly accessable.

man dot-qmail

 also, how do you tell the pop server where to look?

qmail-pop3d only works with maildir, not mailbox.  It will
automatically look in the users' home directory for a maildir with
the name specified on the commandline that invokes qmail-pop3d.

Well, if you want a maildir named 'Mailbox', yes. But usually you would do

./Maildir/
or
./Mailbox
