sendmail uses mbox delivery to /var/spool/mail
qmail must be specially configured to use this delivery method
[as in lwq described, use the ./Mailbox delivery method and symlink them
all to /var/spool/mail/]
nice job with 2000 users :)
now, there is a second question:
do your users use just imap to get their mail, or log they on the server
to get it with a MUA like pine ?
in first case, it would be much better if you use the ./Maildir/ method
and courier imap
