If anything is sticky in this case, it's ~alias. You might check ~alias for stickiness. Chris
Re: Home Directory Sticky?
Bingo! Thanks, Peter and Chris. BTW, this was my first post to the qmail list -- I've been a little bit anxious about getting help with qmail because this list isn't on dejanews -- my main resource -- but the qmail community definitely seems to live up to its reputation. Thanks again. See you later. -Eric.
