Problems creating and writing to mailbox.

        I'm having a problem with this situtation...


        I have 30,000-50,000 email users.  I want to setup their mailboxs like:

        /var/mail/users/0/00/maildir/mailbox

        The maildir holds about 100 users.  Each user has the proper directory 
as
their home directory in /etc/passwd.  I hacked Qpopper to allow for mailbox
delivery, but I'm having problems configuring procmail to write to the
mailbox.  I've create a .procmailrc and .forward file for all directories. 


I have the following questions...

        1.      What are the necessary permisions at each directory level?
                (I've set it as - drwxrws---)

        2.      What should ownerships be set to?
                (I've set owner to root and group to mail)

        3.      Does the user require ownership of the directory?
                (ie. Do I have to create another level? )

        4.      Is what I'm trying to do even possible???

        5.      Am I missing something else???

Thanks in advance.
