In my ignorance I then made a .qmail > file telling it to put everything in ./Maildir/ You shouldn't have to do anything other than use vadduser to add the user. It will create the Maildir and set everything else automatically. Try removing that user (and everything else you did in adding it) and recreating it simply by using the vadduser command. This is assuming that qmail and the virtual domain system were installed correctly. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
