I've hacked qmail-getpw to make a mail directory, if it doesn't exist,
but there is a valid user (recently added to an oracle database). There is
also a qmail users/assign file that has all the older users, and gets
refreshed from the database every five minutes.
Delivery to any users that are in the assign file works fine. However, I
don't think that qmail-getpw is being called, if the user isn't in the
assign file (or the cdb file). I've added a syslog call to the qmail-getpw
program, to log when it's called. This doesn't come up, when the
qmail-inject is done, below:

Mar 19 14:08:10 mail1 qmail-getpw: Calling syslog on john_looney
Anyone know why qmail-getpw wouldn't get called, if the username isn't in
the assign file ?
