I hope this is not a terribly FAQ; I've searched through the discussion list archives a good bit, and I've seen some answers which come rather close, but don't quite seem to hit my particular nail square on the head... with that disclaimer done: Setting my system up as a null-host seems to be nigh-perfect for me, except for local root mail. I found a suggestion in the archive that one might apply FAQ 1.2 and FAQ 5.5. unfortunately, I was rather spoiled in the past by being able to leave off the @whereever.com for local mail. If I follow FAQ 1.2, mail sent from my box to a local user will arrive at that user's mailbox, but with the To: address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Things get real nasty when people start doing group replies and suchlike, since my box is not always up, and I shouldn't be in the business of delivering mail anyway. FAQ 1.1 (host masquerading) works great for this, EXCEPT for the nasty bit about root mail going out as [EMAIL PROTECTED], meaning that it goes out to the sysadmin for my company, who really doesn't care what happened with my cron scripts last night. I do care about what happened with my cron scripts last night, so I put my address in ~alias/.qmail-root. but I don't have local delivery turned on, so my alias is never consulted... So I'm looking for a solution whereby a) I can still send mail to someuser and the to: address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED], b) I show up as [EMAIL PROTECTED], and c) root mail gets delivered to my alias rather than going to mailhub.whereever.com, who sends it to the sysadmin for my company. thanks in advance for any help, nathan
