qmail help

[slr]

this is correct if you dont have the .qmail file in the popboxes directory it 
will return the error described. the path on my server lives @ 
/var/qmail/popboxes/domain-com/user/.qmail and if you use the Maildir format 
then it would contain ./Maildir/ within that file. also the user must have an 
entry in /var/qmail/users/domains/virtualhost as well as in 
/var/qmail/users/assign and have a password entered in 
/var/qmail/users/poppasswd. i use non-system accounts so the config may be 
different for system accounts and is different if you use the mbox 
directories. hope this helps.
