I don't normally ask for help, but this thing (qmail and associated programs) is driving me nuts.
 
Environment and background:
 
O/S: RedHat 7.0
 
compiled and installed these packages:
 
qmail-1.03+patches-18
supervise-scripts-3.3-1
ucspi-tcp-0.88-1
ucspi-unix-0.34-1
vmailmgr-0.96.9-2
vmailmgr-courier-imap-0.96.9-2
vmailmgr-daemon-0.96.9-2
 
While I thought I've configured everything according to the million man files...mail comes in, gets put into a directory under /var/qmail/queue
 
ps -ef | grep qmail reveals:
 
root       198   194  0 08:59 ?        00:00:00 supervise qmail
qmaild     570     1  0 09:00 ?        00:00:00 tcpserver -c 100 -u 101 -g 102 0
 
so qmail is apparantly running.
 
qmail-showctl looks good.  my rcpthosts contains the name of the mailserver, the name of the domain.
 
virtualdomains looks good.. for both users i have defined right now, it has the name of the domain and the username (domainname:username).
 
/etc/qmail/users/assign formatted according to the man page.
 
qmail-qstat reveals:
 
messages in queue: 24
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 14
 
It would help me greatly if anyone could help me understand how all these things fit together.  I know supervise is a replacement for just putting something in rc.d or whatever, and i think i have that running right, since qmail is running.  What I'm hoping to accomplish is the delivery of the email into the correct user's maildir.  Confused as to how vmailmgr fits into this, i've even made the .qmail file in the user's directory simply point at the maildir directory, instead of using the | to send the mail to the vmailmgr.
 
Could someone get me started?
 
Thanks..
