Do a tail -f /var/log/maillog (unless you have set up other logging methods)
while you attempt to log in. If any error messages appear, let me in. The
fact that you can do a mutt -f ./Maildir means nothing, since mutt doesn't
use the same permission structure as a POP3 daemon. Please also include a
'ls -la ~user' so I can see the permissions you have set up. I user qmail on
shadow and non-shadow redhat (6.1) machines with no problems.
If, after you have provided me with the above information, all else fails,
then try reinstalling qmail from scratch as it is possible you have missed
something. qmail is, above all, logical. I have some very complex qmail
systems set up, and even though they took a lot of thinking about to do, it
was in the end just a matter of implementing the correct parts of qmail to
make it work.
