Aside from the smtpd logs, do you also have qmail

about your installation but with my installation

qmail logs are under
/service/qmail/logs/main/current and smtpd logs are
under /service/qmail/logs/main/current.
Most details of errors can actually be seen on qmail
logs.
I've already found the logfiles for qmail. It's in
/var/qmail/log/qmail/current, the same location of
qmail-smtpd/current log.

After emptying the contents of
/var/qmail/log/qmail/current, I again tried sending
email and got these logs, which indeed tells it's a
homedir creation problem.

Do you know what qmail program is being invoke to
create that virtual home directories? I know that its
I think its qmail-local which creates directories.
You can try this.

su vmail -c `cat /var/qmail/control/dirmaker` /var/vmail/username/Maildir

(substitute username above with your mail user yanyan??)

See if it creates Maildir or not.

How did you create user vmail?
(show command you used to create user vmail.)

not a separate script because the flag to enable it is
included in the main qmail Makefile. Perhaps I can run
it in debugging mode. Or, perhaps that user priveledge
in which that program is running is not set to
vmail:vmail, which owns the /var/vmail directory such
that it cannot create any file in it.

Any idea?
