root mail problem
Hi ! Since I reinstalled (upgraded) FreeBSD to 3.1 I can get mail for root. I can send mail or get mail at any of addresses, but not as root. Maillog log shows this error: Mar 4 18:27:15 atechnet qmail: 920568435.241139 delivery 1052: deferral: Not_allowed_to_perform_deliveries_as_root./ I had little rpoblems with permissions on several files so if someone shows me how must I set files, I would be very thankful. Or maybe there is another problem. Please help.

There is no other way, be it safe or unsafe. Apart from forwarding to another host ofcourse, or having procmail/binmail deliver.

I use mutt and have the following in my root user's .muttrc: spoolfile='/var/qmail/alias/Maildir/' So when I read mail as root I am actually reading the alias maildir.

Re: root mail problem
Hello, qmail won´t deliver to root. make a .qmail-root file in ~alias and within that file put &user to deliver root´s mail to user. - cheers eric > >Hi ! > >Since I reinstalled (upgraded) FreeBSD to 3.1 I can get mail for root.
