According to "man qmail-getpw":

       qmail-getpw considers an account in /etc/passwd  to  be  a
       user  if  (1)  the  account  has  a  nonzero  uid, (2) the
       account's home directory exists (and is visible to  qmail-
       getpw),  and  (3)  the  account  owns  its home directory.
       qmail-getpw ignores  account  names  containing  uppercase
       letters.   qmail-getpw also assumes that all account names
       are shorter than 32 characters.

Are these true for user "andy"? If you're not sure, do the following
and post the results:

  grep ^andy: /etc/passwd
  ls -la ~andy
