does the # at the beginning of the line mean you did that as root?
if root types: $HOME
the variable $HOME is expanded to root's home directory which is /root/
so you most likely have created the maildir /root/Maildir
this is useless because root doesnt receive mail in qmail.
if you (as root) want to create a Maildir for a user called username
you have to type
# maildirmake ~username/Maildir
and then
# chown username ~username/Maildir
these are basic unix/linux file and user management commands ... and you
should know them and be able to use them.
make sure to read the qmail FAQ and the INSTALL file carefully.
and please keep the discussion on the list so that others can also follow
it and contribute.
