qmail: Delivering and Routing Local Mail

Overview Mail isn't very useful unless it's delivered successfully. This paper looks at delivering mail addressed to local mailboxes, both for local delivery and for redelivery elsewhere. Local login users usually receive mail in mbox format in ~/Mailbox and ~/.mail. Or they receive mail in Maildir format in ~/Maildir/.In the simplest case, a user's .qmail file needs to contain only a single line to specify the user's mailbox, either the mbox format mailbox or the Maildir.
