Could you send me your adduser script please? Any new idea is wellcome :-)
I created their mail dir logging as them and executing:
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
echo ./Maildir > ~/.qmail
If I don't do this and send them an e-mail the file Mailbox appears in their
home directory with their e-mails, but when they try to receive them using
POP, the server don't accept their password and answers:
'-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir'
I use qmail-pop3d
Thanks.
