I've installed qmail manually since 0.91 (I think) without any (unfixable) problems, under Slackware and Debian. Can you send the output of qmail-showctl to me or the list? And the corresponding lines in /var/log/mail.log? Check the permissions of the user's home directory. It should be something like: % ls -ld ~ drwxr-xr-x 54 careycarey5120 Aug 23 17:02 /home/carey % ls -ld ~alias drwxr-xr-x 6 aliasqmail1024 Aug 14 20:46 /var/qmail/alias You could also try the qmail mailing list. They're more likely to have encountered this before. -- Carey Evans <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] "On the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be." - Savage Garden, _Santa Monica_ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Did you use the package available from project/experimental, or are you installing it manually? Try the tests in qmail's INSTALL document and see how far you get. Also try posting the output of qmail-showctl. -- Carey Evans <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] "On the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be." - Savage Garden, _Santa Monica_ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Qmail user alias
Hi; I'm trying to install qmail, but it still doesn't send to local users. I tried to creat a /var/qmail/users/assign trough qmail-pw2u, but it doesn't accept my passwd entries: "qmail-pw2u: fatal: unable to find alias user" Does qmail use some kind of alias? Do you have another idea? Thank you Bruno -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
