Hi Moh,

R R R, cool!

Normally you don't need that.

In your qmail-startup-script is following line:

qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail &

This tells qmail to deliver eMails to a users homedirectory into the file Mailbox.
You can change this, if you want, to ./Maildir , which then uses qmail-style-maildirectories.
You first have to create a Mailbox or a Maildir:

i.e.: touch /home/user/Mailbox  or
      /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /home/user/Maildir

then echo "./Mailbox" > .qmail  or
     echo "./Maildir" > .qmail

Now all eMails sent to this user will go into the Mailbox or the Maildir.
