Error creating email account.

Hi there am a new bee around here. i tried to create an email account and i kept getting this error message
"File open for /home/izhanmag/etc/domain.com/passwd failed with error Not a directory" how can i fix this? Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks QuietFinn. i kind off decided to delete the existing etc file and create the etc folder. i then created the domain.com folder in the etc folder and lastly i created the file passwd embedded in domain.com folder in the format etc/domain.com/passwd and wala everything worked fine.
