Maildir format uses separate files for each mail message, mailbox uses one

Is there any way to get tcpserver to log deny's ? I would like to see

Paranoid mode).
Any help would be appreciated.
The command I currently use to start my qmail/tcpserver is:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -u 1017 -g 10

Set up the Maildir in there. (Or just setup the .qmail files.).

This is an easy one.
You need to setup a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default file like this:
In it you have an email address to send the bounces to and a call to a

|bounce_script

Well.. One other "related" thing that would need to be updated if you

If you used qmail w/Maildir, the rpm would need to modify the User Add
