Workaround (although a dirty one):
Make a symlink /var/spool/mail/$USER (replace /var/spool/mail/ with the path
to where your mail spool would normally live it you were using that holey
sendmail beast) to $HOME/Mailbox. Do this for each $USER. Make sure
/var/spool/mail/ (or whatever) has those evil 1777 permissions too.
I think there is a blurb in the FAQ about this. Although it's dirty it
should allow for both your POP and IMAP server to work
_without_being_patched_.
While on the subject, I had to do this symlink crap for my mx box. It makes
me cringe. Using mbox mail delivery makes me cringe yet again but currently
it's a necessary evil. I would switch to Maildir but everyone at my place
here (excluding myself) uses IMAP for fetching their mail. Qmail comes with
a nice Maildir popper, but is there an IMAP demon that works with Maildir
delivery???
