You sound a little confused. .qmail files give delivery directions. They're *always* files. They can direct delivery to a mailbox--which can be either a file (mbox) or directory (maildir). If you want to deliver to a maildir, specify the name of the maildir in the .qmail file, e.g.: ./postmaster/ and create the maildir using maildirmake: /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake ./postmaster and make it be owned by the right user: chown -R alias ~alias/postmaster -Dave
alias and Maildir
is there a way due to i have few aliases somehow to store e-mail in another Maildir or something per each alias?
Re: alias and Maildir
is there a way due to i have few aliases somehow to store e-mail in another Maildir See the manual page for dot-qmail: entry descriptions (4) or (5) depending on your delivery method will give you what you need. Beware that the maildirs or mailboxes have to be owned by alias. Regards, Frank
