Close but not quite. Think of the arguments passed to qmail-start
(which hands them off to qmail-local) as the system default .qmail
file. Each delivery intruction must appear on a line of its own.
Therefore, you should run qmail-start as
... qmail-start '|blackbox
./Maildir' ...
Note the _real_ newline between each of the delivery instructions. You
can fill in the ... areas with whatever stuff is relevant for your site.
Also have a look at /var/qmail/boot/*+* for other examples.
