Aah, now this is an interesting thing, I can run qmail-getpw from the
command line, and it finds all the correct information, using the LDAP
lookup (this is using regular qmail with nss_ldap), the permissions on the
users home directory look OK (owned by user 700) as does the Maildir and
there is a .qmail file (owned by user 644) which contains ./Maildir/ so
why isn't mail being delivered?
Suggestions anyone?
