I always check that first.......so what I'm getting is that this shouldn't be happening......the cron job definately makes a new user work......but I'm not using NIS, or NFS.....
I agree it is strange that the message says mailbox......what else might be conflicting?  Again....I have been using qmail for quite sometime....and I've not had this problem before.....it is very strange.
 
 
######this is my startup script in var/services/qmail######
[root@bryant bsmoke]# cd /var/service
[root@bryant service]# ls
pop3d  qmail  qmqpd  qmtpd  smtpd
[root@bryant service]# cd qmail
[root@bryant qmail]# ls
log  run  run~  supervise
[root@bryant qmail]# cat run
#!/bin/sh
. /usr/lib/qmail/run-functions
readdefault aliasempty aliasempty ./Maildir/
make-owners /var/qmail
exec qmail-start "$aliasempty"

Just two ideas:

Aug  7 20:10:10 bryant qmail: 965697010.567118 delivery 25: failure: Sorry,_no_m
ailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/  



Shouldn't be Maildir? I mean... take a look at your start-up script and check qmail delivers to Maildir and not to mailbox...

drwx------    5 root     root         1024 Aug  3 15:48 Maildir
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     root         1024 Dec  4  1999 web
[root@bryant skel]# cat ..qmail
./Maildir/                                  

[root@bryant skel]# cd Maildir
[root@bryant Maildir]# ls -al
total 5
drwx------    5 root     root         1024 Aug  3 15:48 .
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root         1024 Aug  3 17:51 ..
drwx------    2 root     root         1024 Aug  3 15:48 cur
drwx------    2 root     root         1024 Aug  3 15:48 new
drwx------    2 root     root         1024 Aug  3 15:48 tmp  


The owner of these files would have to be the user and not root


Hope it helps
