| All of a sudden, qmail stopped delivering messages. Everything
| double-bounces. The double-bounce messages say "sorry, no mailbox here
| by that name" for accounts that DO exist on our server. Everything is
| configured for Maildir. Help!
Probably your NIS or NIS+ server is acting up. qmail-getpw, relying
on the getpwnam() call, cannot tell the difference between a permanent
and a temporary NIS or NIS+ failure. The short term solution is to
get your NIS or NIS+ server back online. Then, either put your entire
user database in the users/assign database (with the help of
qmail-pw2u perhaps), or replace qmail-getpw with a program that does
its NIS/NIS+ lookups directly and responds appropriately to temporary
errors.
