This is what /var/qmail/boot/home looks like. But... Tell us more about your /var/qmail/rc file. This is the script that /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh points to. From the maillog messages you sent to another posting, I can safely assume that your /var/qmail/rc is trying to do Maildir-delivery. This means that your problem will most likely go away if you go to each local user's HOME directory and do: # cd /home/user # /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake ./Maildir # chown -R user:user ./Maildir To allow qmail to deliver mail to a local user's Maildir, things are a little bit different than when you're using Sendmail-style Mailbox folders. The maildir *must* exist before mail gets delivered to it. It will not be created by qmail-local [the local delivery agent of qmail] if it does not exist.
