OK I need your help, and I will be polite this time.

I have installed qmail as per Adam McKenna's howto. I have checked my work, 
and unless I have severely not understood something it is correct.

I have used maildirs as I wish to use qmail-pop3d, but I haven't done 
anything about that at the moment. My /var/qmail/rc script is as described 
in the howto. I have run the daemontools stuff, qmail is running with lots 
of nice looking processes.

I have a user id 'howard' home directory /home/howard/. I have used 
makemaildir (logged on as howard) to create /home/howard/Maildir (same 
capitilisation as in the rc script - yes?)

If I type >mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (existing sendmail server) the 
message promptly gets there.

If I try the test line in TEST.deliver, i.e. >echo to: howard | 
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject the message vanishes.

I have checked the log which is a bit big but I will add to the end of the 
message. The crux seems to be that it can't find a delivery mailbox 
anywhere and the message bounces around until it deletes it. My Maildir 
directory permissions are read and write for me only. I tried making then 
read/write for everybody but it made no difference... what should the 
permissions be?

Anyway here are the logs, and thank you in advance for any ideas. I think 
myself that I have not quite got the idea of setting up Maildirs, an idiots 
explanation might not go far wrong!

(PS This is just a bit of the log but you should get the idea, most of this 
is for ONE message, even though it looks like there is more than one - 
odd!..... note that it is trying to deliver to something called 
__/.Maildir/ what is that?)
