OK...now I have the tcpserver part working which has solved most of the
problems...especially that of not receiving outside mail... :) Thanks for
all the responses.
Pine seems to look for the aliases in the correct place...but some users
insist on using BSD mail...this (at present) does not seem to look for
the aliases in /var/qmail/aliases. :(
How should I resolve this ?
TIA (and thanks again)
