218656 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Apr 16 17:58:13 void qmail: 987436693.474811 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
Apr 16 17:58:13 void qmail: 987436693.498477 delivery 57: deferral:
Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
Apr 16 17:58:13 void qmail: 987436693.498708 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

Ok I see that mails can not be delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (yy.xxx.lu
is the server name), because there is no Maildir.. But where does qmail look
for the maildir? The filesystem path? So I can create it.

Here are my account in relation width mail.
pop:*:68:6:Post Office Owner:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
alias:*:1002:1001:User &:/var/qmail/alias:/nonexistent
qmaild:*:1003:1001:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent
qmaill:*:1004:1001:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent
qmailp:*:1005:1001:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent
qmailq:*:1006:1002:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent
qmailr:*:1007:1002:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent
qmails:*:1008:1002:User &:/var/qmail:/nonexistent
vpopmail:*:1009:1003:User &:/var/vpopmail:/bin/sh


Thanks in advance

Or for another reason.

>From the manpage 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.

I'd guess that /nonexistent doesn't exist.

what does the file /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster contain
if it contains nothing the Maildir should be created under the
/var/qmail/alias/ directory and have the alias ownership.
