Off the top of my head, check at least: * Is the entry in the .mail file correct? Don't forget the extra dot if you have opted for a name beginning with a dot - it's easy to type "./Maildir/" instead of "./.Maildir/" by accident. * Does the maildir itself have the correct permissions? When creating maildirs with maildirmake, make sure to run it as the user who is to own the mailbox (and not as root for example). qmail delivers mail as the user who owns the mailbox, so it has to be able to access it. *AND*, permissions may not be too wide wither, or qmail will refuse to deliver mail for security reasons (this is true for at least the .qmail files; not sure about the maildir). -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller ' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
