Until I set up forwarding to the system admin they sat in the queue
as far as I remember. Before setting default delivery to '/Maildir/'
format they did appear in the '~/alias' directory.

As I asked in the posting, what should the GRP and OWN be st to for
the ~/alias/Maildir ? You mention 'alias for the owner, what about the
GRP ?
Generated during install....
-rw-r--r-- 1 alias nofiles 6 Aug 21 1999 .qmail-bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 alias nofiles 6 Aug 21 1999 .qmail-nobody
-rw-r--r-- 1 alias nofiles 6 Aug 21 1999 .qmail-operator

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root qmail 10 Apr 13 10:25 .qmail-test
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root qmail 10 Apr 13 10:24 .qmail-postmaster
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root qmail 10 Apr 13 10:25 .qmail-mailer-daemon
Should 'root' own the 4 last in the list or should they be owened by 'alias'
?
What about the group 'qmail' ?
There are several more with 'grp' 'nofiles' but I have cut the list down
for clarity. They were created during install from the '/etc/alias' file.

Anthony
