In my ignorance I then made a .qmail > file telling it to put everything in ./Maildir/ You shouldn't have to do anything other than use vadduser to add the user.

This is assuming that qmail and the virtual domain system were installed correctly. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
