Has your .qmail-default got any of "program lines, mbox lines, or maildir lines" in it? If not, what has it got in it? I think qmail-local is ignoring your .qmail-default because it has the execute bit set. Why not try chmod -x ~/.qmail* and see what happens?

ok, should have remebered this line... --snip-- If .qmail has the execute bit set, it must not contain any program lines, mbox lines, or maildir lines. If qmail-local sees any such lines, it will stop and indicate a temporary failure. --snip-- but, nevertheless it say's no program lines - or am i wrong again? ;( a > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 9:13 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: .qmail-default file ignored, qmail working great otherwise > -- help! > > > > may be i am barking the wrong tree, but: > > > > > All of the .qmail-* files in my home directory are owned by user greg and have > > > the same permissions: rwxr--r--. > > never heard about x in dot-qmail files. > > In which case you might want to read the dot-qmail man page.

What address are you sending to? Your .qmail-default should catch all username-something addresses (unless there's a .qmail-something file). If you're just sending to "username", that'll be handled by .qmail, not .qmail-default. -Dave
