Not knowing exactly what your setup is.. since even you don't seem to know.
Where is your procmail delievering to? If you are using qmail-pop3d you
need to use Maildir format. Does the user have a Maildir created with the
proper permissions in their homedir?
Reading more, you say you used the scripts for procmail as in INSTALL.vsm.
Well, procmail is probably delievering to /var/spool/mail, which is fine, if
thats where your daemons are looking for it. However, qmail-pop3d looks in
$HOME/Maildir.
You can switch to qpopper or another pop3d if you want to use
/var/spool/mail, but if you want to use qmail's pop3d, you need to use
Maildir format. Read INSTALL.maildir

Subject: Problems installing the package from moni.msci.memphis.edu
Importance: High
I have been trying to install qmail using procmail and dot forward
configuration. I have followed all the instructions but I'm still having
problems. The qmail daemons are runing as I can see them with the ps ax
command. The problem is that the clients can not get their email. As an
example in the Netscape mail client appears a message like this: "unable
to scan $HOME/Maildir" What I should do? As additional info should be
noted that my system is running with this hardware:
PIII 450 Mhz
256 Mb RAM
8 Gb total HDD
About my software
RedHat 6.0
Kernel 2.2.10
The software contained in the rpm's from moni.msci.memphis.edu for the
6.0 distribution.
The pop3 daemon contained in that rpms.
I don't have a copy of the rc scripts because I have deinstalled the
packages, but, I have copied the scripts from /var/qmail/boot/ and
/var/qmail/defaultdelivery for procmail vsm and dot forward
configuration to the appropiate places (/var/qmail/ and
/var/qmail/defaultdelivery, respectively). The scripts were used as they
come from the package.
Please send me instructions. I'm turning back to sendmail until you know
what to do.
Thanks
Diego
