You gotta watch that if you're using qmail-getpw as well.  qmail-getpw
is trusted about as far as qmail-lspawn can throw it (that is, not
very far), so it runs as qmailp.  qmailp owns no files, so it can only
access what anybody can access.  And if it can't access somebody's
home directory (e.g. a directory above a home directory is 770), it
presumes that they are not a valid target for email.
