This is smtpd on current/macppc. Having the obligate root: hans
(hans is a local user) in /etc/mail/aliases works just fine and root's mail gets redirected. However, changing that to root: h...@stare.cz or indeed any address that is not local to the machine results in the following: Jul 3 09:20:55 biblio smtpd[2285]: 7dfec386: from=<h...@biblio.stare.cz>, size=381, nrcpts=1, proto=ESMTP, relay=1000@localhost [IPv6:::1] Jul 3 09:20:55 biblio smtpd[12676]: 7dfec386df56349a: to=<h...@stare.cz>, delay=0, relay=gw.stare.cz [192.168.222.1], stat=LocalError (IO error) What local IO Error could that be?
