Re: Someone else brought it up, and i noticed mine wasnt working :)
Hey guys, I worked it out, very simple... Log in as root. Create the following: (where '~/' is your qmail directory, usually /var/qmail) '~/alias/Maildir' '~/alias/Maildir/cur' '~/alias/Maildir/new' '~/alias/Maildir/tmp' 'chown -R alias /var/qmail/alias/Maildir' 'chgrp -R qmail /var/qmail/alias/Maildir' 'chmod -R 700 /var/qmail/alias/Maildir' Now the mail directory and its sub directories are all owned by 'alias'. The group ownership is set to 'qmail'. Maybe this does not matter as the permissions are set to allow access for owner use only. Also make sure that the '.qmail-xyz' files are owned by 'alias' and the group ownership is 'qmail' for the ones you set up. (Do not change the ones that the install created from the '/etc/alias' file) Now you can set up the content of the '.qmail-xyz' file. In my example the file is '.qmail-test'. The file should contain "./Maildir/" (Without the quotes) and nothing else. If you want '.qmail-test' to redirect to a user then change the content to "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (Or just "&user_name" if local) again without the quotes. I have just tested it out and it works fine. I think that my main problem was using 'maildirmake' to create a '/Maildir' which created it under the '/root' directory. Qmail will not deliver to the 'root' account. Copying '/Maildir' to '~/alias/Maildir also failed to allow the mail to be put into the '~/alias/Maildir/new' due to the ownership being root. Lastly the '.qmail-test' was also owned by 'root' which I think also stops delivery to the '/Maildir' under '~/alias' Sending mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' now puts the mail in the '~/alias/Maildir' directory. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- On an other note: Does anyone know how to set up qmail pop to get the mail from the '~/alias/Maildir' "account". I would like to be able to check this "account" as if it is a 'normal' account, (With Netscape) without having an account set up on the Linux box. What about a password for access?

For easy checking you can create a test name that is not used on your system I have set up '.qmail-test' and put "&sys_admin_name" in the file to re-direct messages.

My local deliver to postmaster/root/mailer-daemon isnt working either, now that i check it.. Here's the info. This machine is running vmailmgrd and is working perfectly. Neither mail delivered to postmaster@ the local machine name, or at the virtual domain are being delivered. :/var/qmail/alias$ ls -la total 6 drwxr-sr-x 3 aliasqmail1024 Apr 18 19:17 ./ drwxr-xr-x 10 root qmail1024 Jan 1 1997 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 11 Apr 18 19:26 .qmail-mailer-daemon -rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 11 Apr 18 19:26 .qmail-postmaster -rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 11 Apr 18 19:26 .qmail-root -rw--- 1 root qmail 0 Jun 24 1999 Mailbox drwxr-xr-x 5 root qmail1024 Apr 18 19:17 Maildir/ :/var/qmail/alias$ ls -lr Maildir total 3 drwx--S--- 2 root qmail1024 Apr 18 19:17 tmp/ drwx--S--- 2 root qmail1024 Apr 18 19:17 new/ drwx--S--- 2 root qmail1024 Apr 18 19:17 cur/ [ekool@nivenh][date:Tue Apr 18][time:19:31:15] :/var/qmail/alias$ cat .qmail* ./Mailbox/ ./Mailbox/ ./Mailbox/ And from the log files...
