Hi All, Im using virtualdomains with a line like this.. nothingbut.net.nz:alias I have fastforward installed and working correctly.. I have in /etc/aliases - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:craig now.. when i post a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i get this back from qmail-send Hi. This is the qmail-send program at localhost. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) --- Below this line is a copy of the message. /etc/aliases works fine.. IF i am forwarding to a remote address.. the username "craig" is a local pop account.. i am storing mail in /var/spool/mail if thats relivant.. the user craig does exist, and the directory /home/craig is owned and writeable by the user craig. thanks in advance! craig
