Sorry for being the new guy, but I didn't see any forums anyplace for this kinda stuff. I'm running Gentoo, learning to setup an email server. I got courier installed and running for the most part (using MySQL auth) SMTP delivers mail to the right locations (virual user boxes), however, it makes .maildir as a file, not a directory... Which causes problems later.

Heres an example: I make dir: /home/mail/domain/user if I mkdir ./.maildir the SMTP fails to deliver however, if I don't create the maildir, courier creates it for me (not a directory), a file called .maildir with -rw------- perms.

You need to create the maildir with the maildirmake command.

maildirmake .maildir

Courier will deliver to maildirs if they exist. Otherwise, it will create an mbox.
