Qmail sending to 'root@localhost'
Hello again everyone. I read in the instructions that under qmail no mail is delivered to root@localhost, so you had to put in an alias to root; I did this. /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root # [EMAIL PROTECTED] # However; all mail, both internal and external, directed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is bounced with the error 'this_message_already_has_my_Delievered_to_line' Can anyone tell me what to do about this? ~Chris

Probably not what you had in mind ;-) What you need to do is have the alias pointing to your personal account. My .qmail-root files contains: moe which sends to user 'moe' on the local machine. I suppose I could have put ' [EMAIL PROTECTED] ', though. However; all mail, both internal and external, directed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is bounced with the error 'this_message_already_has_my_Delievered_to_line' Can anyone tell me what to do about this? ~Chris -- Allen Versfeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wandata "I hate quotations" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your entry will cause a loop, as qmail will use your .qmail-root again, but since qmail is really clever, by inserting always a "Delivered to" it will detect the loop and stop delivery.
