i mean the tcpserver command line not tail -f or whatever
read lifewithqmail.org as Henning suggested.

when the user request to receive his messages (pop3 requisition)
the qmail returns the following message:
this user has no $HOME/Maildir

just to make sure you have not missed something in your setup:
does the user have a directory called Maildir/ in their home directory?

if you have set qmail up to use Maildir/ each mail user will need that
~/Maildir/ where qmail would deliver the mails and where qmail-pop3d would
look for them.

for more info type
man maildir

Also sprach Gustavo Schroeder [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 22.09.2000:

i've used the following command:
# maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
# echo ./Maildir/ ~/.qmail

does the # at the beginning of the line mean you did that as root?

if root types: $HOME
the variable $HOME is expanded to root's home directory which is /root/
so you most likely have created the maildir /root/Maildir
this is useless because root doesnt receive mail in qmail.

if you (as root) want to create a Maildir for a user called username
you have to type
# maildirmake ~username/Maildir
and then
# chown username ~username/Maildir

these are basic unix/linux file and user management commands ... and you
should know them and be able to use them.

make sure to read the qmail FAQ and the INSTALL file carefully.

and please keep the discussion on the list so that others can also follow
it and contribute.
