What have you set in default_mail_env? If you haven't set anything, it tries to do automatic detection, but if the mailbox doesn't exist it doesn't automatically create it either. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi default_mail_env was commented out. when i set it to default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u it fails to deliver maillog shows. Mar 28 15:34:31 proteus2a pop3(obantec): lstat(/var/spool/mail/obantec/cur) failed: Not a directory /var/spool/mail exists what is /cur ??? all i want is /var/spool/mail/obantec where obantec is the mail file.
