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.

$HOME is the current user's home directory. The "#" prompt leads me to
believe you're doing this as root. The root user has uid 0, and is
therefore *not* a valid mail account.

Accessible by user qmailp. Generally, user home directories are
readable and executable by "other", so qmailp *can* access them.
