Hey guys, I worked it out, very simple... Log in as root. Create the following: (where '~/' is your qmail directory, usually /var/qmail) '~/alias/Maildir' '~/alias/Maildir/cur' '~/alias/Maildir/new' '~/alias/Maildir/tmp' 'chown -R alias /var/qmail/alias/Maildir' 'chgrp -R qmail /var/qmail/ali

How to set /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-xxxx ./Maildir/ up.

Hi there, I have a successfully running qmail setup. However I initially used mbox (/Mailbox) configuration. Since it is not necessary for our users to use MUA's on the server itself (All access is via POP) I decided to use './Maildir/' and changed everything accordingly. During my initial tes
