This is definitely wrong.
Mine look like this:
Nov 1 01:02:08 gw qmail: 973062128.597515 starting delivery 5290: msg 39065 to
local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(This is syslog plus straight TAI, is the difference at the start of
the lines. Note how the address is shown in my case -- it actually
makes sense.)
Here's an example of an incoming message (in this case to a virtual
domain) which fails because there's no such mailbox:
Nov 1 05:56:53 gw qmail: 973079813.011391 starting delivery 5561: msg 39065 to
local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Nov 1 05:56:53 gw qmail: 973079813.012058 status: local 1/10 remote 0/50
Nov 1 05:56:53 gw qmail: 973079813.105976 delivery 5561: failure:

This looks like you have a .qmail file which says "& /.Maildir/" in
it; which would definitely be wrong.
