RE: Maildir delivery problem
Sorry about that. I use tcpserver by way of svscan to start Qmail. I have a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d that runs the necessary commands. Attached is the unedited output of qmail-showctl, the startup script (called qmail) and the log fragment(qmail-log). -Original Message- From: Charles Cazabon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 3:33 PM To: Qmail List Subject: Re: Maildir delivery problem Daniel Bakken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am using Qmail with Maildir and pop3d.

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.

RE: Maildir delivery problem
I'm not sure what files you are talking about. What directory are .qmail and .forward located in? I just set up Qmail and am new to mailserver administration. So far I do not have a production server, just a test.
