If that's true, you should look at /var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current to |
| 10 |
see what's going on. |

qmail traditionally uses ~/Maildir for user mailboxes. Gentoo uses |
| 20 |
~/.maildir instead. It sounds like webmin is looking in the wrong place |
| 21 |
(for Gentoo). |

|
| 23 |
Gentoo's default delivery is set in /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery. |

You could change this, but should probably change webmin instead. I have |
| 25 |
no experience with webmin, so I have no advise on how to do this. |
