I finally got to do this, but it failed again..
/etc/alias
postmaster & abuse are piped to root
# Person who should get root's mail
root: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
exim -d -bt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fail:fail:fail
Looks like it is searching every file known to mankind but /etc/alias
exim.conf does acknowledge the file:
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
retry_use_local_part
Now where do I go with this??
Thanks again for all your help!
