Thanks,
I am not reading my mail as root. However, I halt as root and
when therefore I log into root I get the message that there is mail
and then there it all is as explained.
The mail says:"Mail Delivery Subs Postmaster notify: user
unknown"
When I, as user retrieve mail for each mail I get the following
message:
"mail from FETCHMAIL-DAEMON@localhost bounced to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or whatever sender.
The .fetchhmailrc file reads as follows:
set postmaster "peter"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
poll 'server' with proto POP3
user pfheiss with pasword ****** is pfheiss here
limit 30000 warnings 3600 expunge 10
antispam 571 550 501 554
In /etc/aliases everything was set to root
I changed now postmaster to "peter" and the header mail showed-
up now in my box and part of the message is as folllows:
