In fact NOTHING I put in the .qmail-default file is executed. I tried: |touch /home/greg/qmail-was-here But that didn't do anything, either. Sounds like your .qmail-default isn't being used. 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

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.

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?
