it doesn't inspect the contents of the home directory at all. however,  
after re-reading "man dot-qmail" (i don't normally use system users  
for mailboxes at all, so this stuff isn't as fresh in my mind as it  
should be) i can see that it needs to.

i've just updated it, please try again.

again, thanks for letting me know... i'd much rather make the script  
correctly handle all of these (as i think of them) "edge cases", than  
have to tell people to look elsewhere simply because they don't do  
things exactly the same way i do (i.e. with a zero-byte "locals" file,  
and every domain, including the "me" domain, managed by vpopmail.)
