The problem is, if the delivery is done via ~alias, it's done with the permissions of the user alias, which is not allowed to write /home/tom/Mailbox Whether it's done via ~alias/.qmail-tom depends on entries in /etc/passwd and/or /var/qmail/users/assign. However the line @40003b056f360ee85a54 starting delivery 1357: msg 224842 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] indicates that the problem is not with the user tom, but delivery to user "root", which is handled by ~alias/.qmail-root (under permissions of user "alias"). Replace in that file (I assume!!) /home/tom/Mailbox with &tom and it will probably work. \Maex -- SpaceNet AG| Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 | Fon: +49 (89) 32356-0 Research & Development | D-80807 Muenchen| Fax: +49 (89) 32356-299 Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.

Because qmail runs with the permissions of the user it is delivering to. > ls -la /var/qmail/alias [...] > -rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 18 May 16 19:06 .qmail-tom > > ls -la /home/tom [...] > drwxr--r-- 2 tom users4096 May 18 20:06 . You implied that ~alias/.qmail-tom contains /home/tom/Mailbox . Therefore, if alias is handling this address, user "alias" will be trying to write to ~tom/Mailbox, which won't work. However, user "tom" should override alias, unless you're using virtualdomains to do this or something. Post the output of `qmail-showctl` (unedited) and we might be able to help you further. It might be as simple as changing your ~alias/.qmail-tom file to contain a forwarding directive.
