Thanks for your reply.
"Put your desired address into your .qmail file."
When you refer to "desired address", is it the UID (which is "root") or
something else? I have setup .qmail files and would appreciate which folder
this particular .qmail file you are referring to?

Is there a pop server allowing to use the maildir format
for users who have "Maildir" and a standard Mailbox
file for the other users ?
The ideal thing would be that this pop server would work
with ssl too.
Is there a way to convert a Mailbox to maildir format ?
Thank you.
if you're in the directory in which you unpacked qmail, check the
permissions on the compile file. If it is not excutable it will be
reported as not found. I usually unpack my files witha -p option in order
to preserve permissions. i.e tar xvzpf file.tar.gz

I think what you need to do is this:
Set up your second server to accept mail for the domain ns1.mydomain.com
by editing /var/qmail/control/locals and adding ns1.mydomain.com to that
file on the second server. Then on ns1.mydomain.com edit
/var/qmail/control/locals and remove ns1.mydomain.com
Great. Your reply is much clear I will try it.
