i have a question for the qmail people out there. this is my first time working with qmail, anyway there seemed to be a big push to use Maildir instead of mbox in the docs that i have read. so that is what i did, i conf. qmail to use Maildir and non-system accounts. which is partly working, i can send, so smtp is working find, and i can connect pop3 to the server using both evolution and OE6. but qmail doesnt seem to be delivering the mail to the Maildir for the test account. also relaying seems to be a problem, i followed these instructions but had no success:
 
8a. Access Control
Before we can start up our qmail smtpd, we need to do some access control.
The simplest way to do this is by using files in /etc.  I use /etc/tcp.smtp as my
access control file.  If you don't need to do any access control, /etc/tcp.smtp can have just
one line:
:allow
 
Note that a default configuration does not allow for ANY relaying, even from localhost.
To allow relaying from localhost and your local network, you would have to use something
like this:
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
 
After you've created your rules, you need to activate them.  tcpserver works by reading
a cdb (database) file.  You use the tcprules program to build the database file from your
/etc/tcp.smtp file.  This is accomplished by the following command:
# tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
 
it wasnt until i added the host i was sending, to the rcpthosts file in /var/qmail/control.
 
thx in advance for any help.
