I am setting up a webmail system on top of qmail. I thought once I had a
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow entry for a user, that would be sufficient
to receive email. This is not the case, unless the user also has a valid
home directory owned by that user, qmail says the user does not exist.

delivery 1661: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/


Is there a way around this ? I would like to avoid creating lots of home
directories that will not be used for anything else. I want all freemail
users to share the same home directory.
