Thanks, the last bit about world/group writable was what I wanted to
know. I think the best approach for me may be to create a set of new
users (e.g. chrismail, user1mail, user2mail, etc.) which can have
the restrictive permissions required for qmail and the Windows MUAs
can then be set up to point at these accounts to collect their mail.
