Mmmmr The extra dot in the rc file was a typing error, but I have changed the layout to your suggestion. I did echo to: howard >/var/qmail/qmail-inject again The log file for this looks like... @40003a014cd1031b95ec status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @40003a014d5616ba61dc starting d

I forgot to mention that all of the /var/qmail/alias files point to 'Howard' so if it can't deliver to me then it will bounce like mad (as it is doing). I don't have a .qmail file. I thought that I wouldn't need one, as Maildir delivery is supposed to be the default. I will have a close look at
