Ow. This is getting complicated now :(
I want to get my sbox-account (my provider) ALL my mails because my
computer isn't running all the time and when fetchmail isn't running, I
want to read my mails via the provider's webmail-interface.
So I get mails as (for simplicity abbrevated!) vk@sbox, vk@tux, karl@gmx
and anotherone@gmx.
I modified rctphosts:
sbox
tux
gmx
Now I get the mails but the qmail doesn't seem to know what to do with
them because they're getting into my nulldevice: (almost) all mails
deleted from sbox-server and nothing delivered on my
local tux-computer-account.
example of logfile:
qmail: 962705369.790367 delivery
146: success: 129.27.2.2_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_ok_962705383_qp_9618/
qmail: 962705369.791155 status: local 0/10 remote 2/20
qmail: 962705369.791719 end msg 57505
So I guess, I'll have to set aliases for all email-addresses of me.
FIRST QUESTION:
How to set up an alias? (The manuals are quite confusing to me)
I want an alias e.g. for [EMAIL PROTECTED] delivered to vk@tux (local).
Along the dot-qmail, I have to "touch .qmail-gmx:net" and with what
content? vk@tux? This would cause ALL gmx-mails to be forwarded to the
local user vk? But what if several users use an gmx-forward?
PLEASE give me an example with real names (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> local
user vk@tux AND [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> local other@tux)!
SECOND QUESTION:
How can I avoid following "couldn't find any host named localhost"?
(I already put "localhost" in rctphosts!)
2:09:24 tux qmail: 962705364.317964 new msg 57498
2:09:24 tux qmail: 962705364.318689 info msg 57498: bytes 11765 from

2:09:24 tux qmail: 962705364.434120 end msg 57498
LAST QUESTION:
How can I restart qmail to apply all changes???
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop/start
doesn't seem to be enough.
THANK you VERY much for helping me!
btw, trust me: I've tried to search all my questions in the FAQs/manuals.
