The first question that comes to mind is, did you compile maildrop from src or did you let portage to it for you? the guide you mentioned uses ebuilds, ebuilds that replace Maildir with .maildir in the source of courier, vpopmail, and qmail. Maildrop from source might not know about this change. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <vchkpw@inter7.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 1:41 PM Subject: [vchkpw] Problems with qmail/vpopmail/maildop
