Sorry, I must sound stupid but this really doesn't work.
If I send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want that mail delivered to root,
so I put &root inside .qmail-root.
But qmail sends it to root, so first checks the config and sees that
.qmail-root oblies it to be send to &root, and so on -> loop
Is it possible that root, someday, will receive a mail? Because it doesn't
accept &[EMAIL PROTECTED] :-(
I've read INSTALL.alias and says "Under qmail, root never receives mail",
why?
