An interesting side-note I thought I'd add, qmail-inject from the command
line works perfectly. Using qmail-inject the message goes to
~bob/Maildir/new the way it's suppose to. So the question still stands, how
do I configure qmail-smtpd to place mail where it's supposed to?
The SMTP entry in my inetd.conf looks like this:
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
qmail-smtpd
