thank you for your response, and yes i did create the .qmail file in the
user's home directory with the line ./Maildir/. but i had 2 problems,
permissions on the .qmail file and 2 qmail-send processes. but all of my
problems have been resolved, thanks to Google. once again i want to
thank all who offered help.
