Yes. Or, more properly, /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
>Do you have any other ~alias/.qmail- files? Do any of them work properly?
As above, .qmail-postmaster. I haven't tested postmaster yet. I'm going
to presume that it'll fail.
To answer others that have come in, in a single message:
/var/qmail/users is empty. The directory is owned by root.qmail.
Yall asked for log entries. I created an email from [EMAIL PROTECTED], sent
it from Eudora to mail.ftwrth1.tx.home.com, which connected to
bbs.goldblatt.net. Here are the logs, showing the whole transaction
(receipt to return of bounce). The bounce was no mailbox here 5.1.1.
