Greetings, I've tried switching to maildir on a small debian server.
Qmail was working perfectly until this.
I changed /etc/init.d/qmail from
This is a Debian file, not a qmail file.
alias_empty="|/usr/sbin/qmail-procmail"
Not a clue. What is alias_empty used for in that script?
My .maildir is (I think) created properly using the maildirmake
command from courier-imap.
Okay.
Local delivery works to the maildir.
Excellent.
However, all messages from outside are now bounced with an error like
Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name ... username-username@hostname
Somehow, procmail must have been doing something extra to resolve my
username, does anyone know what that would be and how I can implement
it with a maildir delivery?
Nope; procmail doesn't generally do anything with usernames...
I hate to say it (because it sounds like a cop-out), but you're
probably going to be much better off either asking the Debian package
maintainer (because qmail-procmail is NOT a part of qmail), or
deleting it all and reinstalling qmail by following the instructions
at www.lifewithqmail.org, so at least then you know exactly what
you've configured qmail to do.
