At the risk of compromising my home LAN security, I have a user name on my
RedHat box - "James." I know, I know, it's an odd choice for a user name,
but I like it.
Unfortunately, Mail/Sendmail doesn't like it. No matter what I try I cannot
get mail delivered to user James, James@localhost, James@MyDomain, nothin.
Sendmail keeps telling me (or, rather e-mailing root) that user "james" is
unknown - which is accurate, as that user does not exist.
Any clues as to how I can get Mail/Sendmail to accept the fact that my
usernames may have upper case characters in them? I've tried aliasing james
to James, but that doesn't seem to work.
I finally just killed off Sendmail so that I didn't have to read all of the
undeliverable mail messages in root's mailbox - however some of the messages
for root are actually useful so this isn't a long term option.
If anyone has specific experience with other mail daemons (qmail, zmail?)
feel free to recommend away. I'm still a newbie as far as Linux goes and am
not particularly loyal to any packages.
Cheers,
James
