The question is incomplete because there are two way to configure qmail: How qmail will it deliver the mail ???

Ok... I take of the complains...
CASE 1.
When qmail was installed, you had to set up the way to deliver the email. The firs one, it is like sendmail, deliver the email in a file.

CASE 2.
This one is called Maildir, in the home of the user must be a directory called "Maildir", inside must be three (3) directories: new, cur, tmp; the "new" directory stores the new email (not read), the other one is "cur" usually the read email.

Now... if you did not install qmail ask to the person who did it about the way to deliver the email.

I hope that it works for you.

Best regards.
