*** Time critical trivial problem! please, respond

Hello, All!

possibly I'm touching quite trivial problem, but it's timecritical for me
at teh moment.Also I'm new in qmail.

After installation of qmail + vpopmail getting:

What is direction for me to dig? It seems like problem with permission, but
without practice with qmail setup it's very difficult for me to say what the
problem is. I've learnt out all postings from deja.com, but none of them
actual to my system. So ...
I just need experienced look at all this crap.
Any additional information can be send by the request.
Thanks in advance to all. If it possible send your emails directly to qmail
at akha dot kiev dot ua.

With best regards, akha. E-mail: ender@ua.fm

Without further configuration details, I can only generalize. The
problem, obviously, is with the mailbox that ender@xxx.com is supposed
to be delivered to. Does it exist? Is it really a maildir created with
the maildirmake command? Is it owned by the controlling user? (E.g.,
ender if it's a local domain or the virtual domain user if it's
virtual.) Can the controlling user access the maildir and all of the
parent directories? E.g., if the maildir is /home/xxx.com/Maildir,
check:

ls -ld / /home /home/xxx.com /home/xxx.com/Maildir

Make sure the user has at least execute permissions on all of the
parents.

Next time post the output of qmail-showctl and ls -l's on the relevant
directories.
