Very weird, yes!

The .qmail file for each user _is_ in the user's home directory on both servers.

Nothing seems to be broken as mail flows properly to the accounts on both servers. This really bugs me and I just
want to find out why and possibly a way to fix it so that
I can run identical scripts over the accounts on both
hosts.

Perhaps vdelivermail has something to do about this. If so,
this is the wrong list to ask but if anyone knows anything
about this then you're welcome to speak up.

I'll send this to the vpopmail list too. If I get something
of value from there I'll post it here.
