RE: Maildirmake...
By my last qmail-installation I've given the maildirs the right 703. I think that is also a good setting for that. ??? I see no meaning for that. Are you *sure* *everyone* can create and remove files on every Maildir in your system? I wouldn't like to be one of your users, I'm sorry. Wagner.
Re: Maildirmake...
Hi, Preferred permissions are 700. By my last qmail-installation I've given the maildirs the right 703. I think that is also a good setting for that. Some time ago I've asked about the rights for the maildirs, with 703 I think there is a good security for the maildirs. Regards, Ruprecht

Uh, sure, if you don't mind any fool process or user writing stuff in your mail directories. Remember, qmail assumes the rights and permissions of the user in question before writing to his/her mail directories, so there is no reason to have any world or even group permissions on those directories. 700 is highly recommended. ---Kris Kelley

Well, if you have a good reason to let every user on the system write anything they want into your maildirs, then great! I sure don't. Tim

Re: maildirmake command is not found
Hi Mark, maildirmake is not a shell command. Givehim the path (it should be in /var/qmail/bin/ ). Anyway, most docs suggest to create Maildir in /etc/skel. Have a look at the interesting http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/OS/Qmail.html and "Life with Qmail". Ciao.

Unix is case-sensitive 2. maildirmake is installed in /var/qmail/bin by default. You probably don't have /var/qmail/bin in your PATH Try "/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake Maildir" (without the quotes).

"Eddie Greer" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: thanks for responding. The answer that I am trying to find is whether the maildirmake command creates a file of any sort that keeps track of the mailboxes. No, maildirmake makes a maildir. That's all; nothing else. We changed someone's mailbox, What do you mean by that? Exactly what did you change? and copied the new current and tmp directories into their mailboxes but qmail did not redirect their mail (even after we did the maildirmake and specified their new home directory). qmail won't redirect their mail until you tell it to via a .qmail file or defauldelivery specification on the qmail-start command line. I am hoping that their is a way to modified a user home directory and Maildir folder without recreating the user from scratch. There's *never* a need to recreate a user from scratch under UNIX. -Dave
Re: maildirmake
Not sure that I understand what you're asking, but /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake ~/Maildir will create ~/Maildir/new, ~/Maildir/tmp and ~/Maildir/cur for incoming mail.

Eddie Greer I think what is being asked is, if your default mail delivery instructions (passed to qmail-start) are something like, "./Mailbox", and you start creating Maildirs for users, how do you get the mail to be delivered to the Maildirs instead of the Mailboxes? And the answer is, there are several ways. The two I am familiar with are: * Put: ./Maildir/ into the .qmail file of every user who is going to be using Maildirs, or, if your whole site is switching over, just change the default mail delivery to be "./Maildir/", by invoking qmail-start specifying "./Maildir/" instead of "./Mailbox".
