Qmail / Mail Forwards / unable_to_chdir_to_maildir

Gday all,

We have recently had a problem with forwarding emails, It worked for a few monthes then all of a sudden we started getting the dreaded unable_to_chdir_to_maildir error.

This problem is only for a single domain the other 5 domain forwards work fine.

I have checked the permissions and everything looks right (the permissions match those of the other 5 domains).
It seems that when the mail gets to qmail instead of forwarding the mail onto the catchall email address it tries to deliver it locally, Although I thought this would have given me the no_mailbox here by that name error instead of the chdir one.

Has anyone else had these problems and if so how did you correct this issue ?.

Best Regards,

Jake.
