That's not true. In a default install there are NO
/var/qmail/users/assign
/var/qmail/users/cdb
files.
qmail-lspawn will examine /var/qmail/users/cdb for any username
overrides. If it does not find a match, it will then call qmail-getpw
to interrogate the passwd database via getpwnam(3). See the qmail
pictures for a more detailed explanation of what happens.
It's a good idea to create /var/qmail/users/assign from qmail-pw2u and
then create /var/qmail/users/cdb but it is NOT mandatory.
The user's problem is almost certainly to do with the fact that he is
either delivering to a mailbox called Maildir (instead of delivering
to a maildir called Maildir/) and the existence of a directory called
Maildir/ is stopping delivery, or the Maildir/ is owned by root instead
of the correct user.
