I had something like that the other day.
I have listed all valid users in /var/qmail/users/userlist, and a
Makefile in /var/qmail/users/:
new:
( grep alias: /etc/passwd; \
perl -pe 'chomp; $$_ = `ypmatch $$_ passwd`' userlist \
) | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pw2u -H > assign
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu
Note the -H option. Since home-directories are auto-mounted (Solaris),
they will have the following owner/permissions when not mounted
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Jul 11 16:15 /users/user
and qmail-pw2u will silently drop the "invalid" users on the floor (as
per the documentation) without it.
I made a boo-boo, and people's mail started to bounce... No fun.
Check your assign file.
