Simply that I could arrange things so that, if you sent mail to
nelson-foo/bar, it's delivery would be controlled by a file called
~nelson/.qmail-foo/bar, which is to say that there is a directory
called .qmail-foo in ~nelson, and it has a dot-qmail(5) file in it
called bar.
You could then try delivering to nelson-foo/../Mailbox (in an attempt
to stuff mail into my Mailbox), but qmail would go looking for
~nelson/.qmail-foo/::/Mailbox, which might or might not (!) exist.
