And it can make your head spin.  I spent quite along time last night reading
the man pages for qmail-(pw2u, getpw, newu) along with several searches on
list archives.  Finally figured out what I was missing and got it going.  Of
course I have to fight the temptation to ask such a lame question to the
list, instead choosing to burn my brain cells. ;)

As it turns out my problem was not in converting users from /etc/passwd to
users/assign, but in forgetting  to echo ./Maildir/ > .qmail.

One thing I do not fully understand is what the purpose of having the
/user/assign (include, exclude) files is, unless one is hosting for virtual
domains or multiple email addresses per user.  Then again maybe that is the
purpose.

Going back to my reading :)
