Could it be made an option to create the maildir directories then? With several thousand users, most of whom don't grok Unix well or at all, it gets to be a pain to try and keep up with this problem.

This will prevent the Maildir file from being created. A real maildir won't be created either, the mail will simply be deferred until such time that a proper maildir is created. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
