Changing it to lowercase is the least-work solution. However, you can override this behaviour if you want, and there are (sometimes) other good reasons to do so, particularly if you use NIS or automounted home directories. `man qmail-users` for details.

Hey, thanks for the info Charles... You just told me what my problem is... I just realized that the account has an uppercase character, is there a way to make the program recognize these or should i just change it to lowercase?

Eleven characters should be fine. From the man page for qmail-getpw: qmail-getpw considers an account in /etc/passwd to be a user if (1) the account has a nonzero uid, (2) the account's home directory exists (and is visible to qmail- getpw), and (3) the account owns its home directory. qmail-getpw ignores account names containing uppercase letters. qmail-getpw also assumes that all account names are shorter than 32 characters.
