ls -lad /var/qmail/alias:

What do the logs say if you send a message to postmaster in that domain?
What does "ls -lsa /var/qmail/alias" say?
What does "id alias" give?
What does "grep alias /etc/passwd" give?

Having problems with postmaster....

2001-07-24 Thread David Gartner

Hey all...

I have a problem, that's not _really_ a problem, but I've had someone complain, so
I figured I should fix it.  I always put .qmail-postmaster in /var/qmail/alias and
point it to an account on the system.  It's always worked, except on one site.  It
rejects any mail for postmaster saying that there is no such user, but the
.qmail-postmaster file _is_ in place.  Does anyone know why, on this one system,
qmail disregards the .qmail file?  Thanks in advance.

David
