Re: QMAIL Question



What mode are you using Qmail in, most likely Maildir mode, so you will have to create the Maildirs manually, so look at a program called maildirmake or man it even better.

Most likely you have also setup Qmail to deliver to a Maildir is the user's home directory so you may have to run maildirmake in the home directory of the user. You can add the Maildir into the /etc/skel and should be there everytime you add a user. Unless you are using something like ldap which would prolly help you direct mail to /var/spool/mail/user/Maildir.

HTH.

Cheers,

Well, maybe not a Qmail question, but I think it is related.

When I installed Qmail and removed Sendmail, when I create a new user with WEBMIN it doesnt create the default /var/spool/mail/<username> file. I have to manually "touch" the file and set permissions. When Sendmail was installed, it would automatically create it.

How can I automate this process?

Thanks A Million
