Hi Jay, Make sure that you have /var/qmail/control/ldapgid file that contains the the vmail group id and /var/qmail/control/ldauid containing the vmail user id. The group id and user id are the numeric equivalent of the username and group name. See /etc/passwd to get it.
Another thing to check is the /var/qmail/control/ldapmessagestore file which should point to your mail directory which I think in your case is /var/vmail. The script that would be used by qmail to auto-create the directory should be set in the file /var/qmail/control/dirmaker . You can either use the file included with qmail which is /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake but I think you may have to do some customization to allow user specific Maildir creation. I'm not sure but I think some of the configuration files I mentioned above can be set on the ldap server, on a per user basis. I haven't tried this yet, but I've read or have seen some people doing it. Maybe some of the guys here who have done it can give more info on this. Hope this helps.

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. @4000000042df416101e76b4c new msg 300 @4000000042df416101efc404 info msg 300: bytes 1070 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 1197 uid 1003 @4000000042df416101efd78c starting delivery 28: msg 300 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @4000000042df416101efe72c status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @4000000042df416108fcb284 delivery 28: deferral: Temporary_error_in_automatic_homedir_creation._(#4.3.0)/ @4000000042df4161090c69f4 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @4000000042df41c6096ef484 starting delivery 29: msg 300 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @4000000042df41c609716d54 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 After a quick googling for the error message, I found this link: http://www.mail-archive.com/qmail-ldap%40qmail-ldap.org/msg01653.html The user has a different scenario, but the same error message. deferral: Temporary_error_in_automatic_homedir_creation._(#4.3.0) Do you know what qmail program is being invoke to create that virtual home directories? I know that its 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?
