>>From the ding-list archives (http://www.miranova.com/gnus-list/), it's
clear people are using qmail with Gnus sucessfully already.  I'm not
sure whether support for Maildir is built into Gnus yet, but I would
guess no based on what I've read.  Visit the archives and try
searching for "Maildir" or "qmail".  Here are some choice articles
that should help.

Justin, perhaps this topic should be added to the Gnus FAQ?
