Hi
I have no problems fetching my mail with fetchmail but the only way I seem
to be able to get my mail is if I put a .qmail-default file in ~alias/. Any
other filename I use eg .qmail-netnet or .qmail-nobhead or .qmail-bobski
... don't work whether I put them in my home directory or in ~alias/. The
.qmail-default file seems to be the only one that allows me to get my mail
to ~/Maildir.
I also cannot send out any mail using qmailsmtpd.
Your Life with qmail article has been a great help but I must be
misunderstanding something. I also tried setting this up using an article
called "Mail queue with qmail" using maildir instead of mbox so my setup is
almost exactly whats in that article. If I don't use the
~alias/.qmail-default file everything gets delivered to ~alias/pppdir
instead of ~/Maildir even though my other files point to maildir.
Thanks
Bob
