Given /etc/passwd and the user's home directory, how do you decide
whether an entry in /etc/passwd should receive mail? Look for a
.qmail file and give up otherwise? That's a reasonable choice, but it
involves creating a bunch of .qmail files, all of which are empty.
But also consider that qmail-local runs as the user, and if the user
doesn't own their home directory, they can't modify their mailbox.
