I'm receiving non-exixstant users' mail...

[Pietro Femmino']

Hi Qmailers.
I'm using Qmail on a Linux Debian system. What's the problem? If I send mail
to [EMAIL PROTECTED], where nonex is a non-existant user, I (the user krazy)
receive that mail. Root is aliased to krazy. Postmaster (and mailer-daemon)
put their mail on a file.

Where should I investigate to understand my problem?

Thanks, and bye.

Look for ~alias/.qmail-default, which controls mail to non-existent
users.  If the file does not exist, such mail ought to bounce.
Exception: A wildcard entry in /var/qmail/users/cdb (plain text in
users/assign) can have the same effect.  Failing all these, look at
your virtualdomains file, if you have one.  When everything else
fails, look at Delivered-To: header fields in the incoming mail for
clues.
