I don't know why courier chooses to create an mbox format file called Maildir, instead of just creating the Maildir. But there's no configuration to change this as such. However, at the expense of an extra test with each delivery, you could change your default delivery to something like this: "|test -d ./Maildir || maildirmake Maildir ./Maildir" This will ensure that if a Maildir is missing, it is created automatically before delivery. -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
