If you put a Maildir in this area, then every new account
will be automatically set up with one. I've used something
similar to:

        # /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /etc/skel/Maildir

Then one can use the "useradd" command to add a new user
and the Maildir will be created automatically.

P.S. I have only used "useradd" on Linux and Solaris systems.
     There may be other tools on other Unix (i.e. BSD) systems.
