I am stumped with a possibly trival problem.

I get the following in my log files.

After searching through the archives, and seeing lots of similiar problems, I 
still don't see what my particular hold up is.

The user, zidiot, is on the same machine as the mail server, internally named 
mesozoic.atoka.org.

in /var/qmail/aliases, I have

.qmail-atoka-zidiot
.qmail-zidiot

both containing the single line

/home/zidiot/Maildir/

Further, the directory was created from /etc/skel when the user was created. 
The permissions are:
ll /home /home/zidiot /home/zidiot/Maildir

/home:
total 44
drwx------ 4 zidiot zidiot  4096 May 25 22:40 zidiot

/home/zidiot:
total 4
drwx------ 5 zidiot zidiot 4096 May 25 22:08 Maildir

/home/zidiot/Maildir:
