Assuming you choose user's mail store = /home/user,
1) make sure login user's $HOME= /home/user;
2) make sure you have make subdirectory /home/user/Maildir/... for this
user.
3) make sure the of /home/user/Maildir/... is own by this user and can only
be read/write by this user only.
Procedures:
1) update /etc/profile MAIL=$HOME/Maildir/
2) in /etc/skel run /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake Maildir in order to store
default Maildir for newly created users
3) useradd newuser
4) try to deliver message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
That's it.
