Re: way to deliver to Maildir bypassing .qmail files?

That's what I checked out first.  It does not really go directly to the
Maildir when an "&" line is used, whether that is in a .qmail-address file
under the domain directory or in the .qmail file in the user directory.

You might have meant to use a "/" line which is what Rick suggested and I'm
trying that with no luck so far.
