As far as I can tell, the only "appropriate" parameter to arrange to deliver
to an arbitrary Maildir is to supply your own defaultdelivery instructions.
Furthermore, you need to be sure that there is no real .qmail file that
matches the other parameters. Is that what you did when you did this before
Russ?
If you don't over-ride defaultdelivery, then it seems to me that qmail-local
still needs to read .qmail files with hard-coded Maildir paths.
