I have qmail running on my Linux RedHat 5.2 box now and it
successfully delivers mail to 'ordinary' users.  After a little hassle
I have got mutt successfully reading from ~/Maildir.  However I have a
problem and a question:-

The 'problem' is that mail to root, postmaster, etc. is still not
working.  I have set up a Maildir directory in /var/qmail/alias which
seems to be the place it should arrive (I'm not sure about this) but
the mail doesn't arrive.  In /var/log/maillog I'm getting lots of
errors like:-

Feb  5 19:03:33 server2 qmail: 918241413.728213 delivery 39: deferral:
Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/

So presumably I either haven't got the Maildir for root's mail in the
right place or the permissions are wrong.  Can anyone set me right
please.  (By the way I also have a /root/Maildir but nothing has
arrived there either)


Secondly, the 'question'.  Can I change the name and location of a
user's Maildir or does it *have* to be ~/Maildir?  If it can be
changed which configuration files need changing?
