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.

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.

Temporary_error_in_automatic_homedir_creation._(#4.3.0)
If u got above type of error then there is permission problem.
If you are hurry then change the /home permission to 777.
it will work for while. but due to security reason u can't do it.
so you can use sudo. and another thing you vamil user is trying to create
dir in /home dir. it has not permission to create dir in /home directory.
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?
Thanks!
