alias for root, those messages will bounce. (They'll end up
double-bouncing to the postmaster.) Set up an alias for root in
~alias/.qmail-root.

IIRC it won't even work with /tmp, unless it's on the same partition.
If it's not the link() syscall will fail that "moves" the message from
tmp to new.

I just converted a sendmail box to qmail and used fastforward to make use
of the /etc/aliases table. It turns out that there was an alias that read
simply:
accounts: accounts
I don't know why it was there and I didn't catch it during the conversion.
However, fastforward doesn't seem to be as tolerant of such things. Every
delivery to that address is listed in the log as being a successful
delivery but they never actually arrived in the mailbox. Once I removed
the alias, it worked fine. Any idea what happened to the phantom
messages?

naturally alarming to people who don't.

Hello All,
I recently installed the logcheck-1.1.1 program from psionic.com/abacus
to have my boxes mail updates to me on a hourly basis, however, when the
script executed, it comes back with:
/usr/sbin/sendmail: no such file or directory
Now, since I run qmail (smtp/pop3d) on another server, and don't have mail
installed on this system (it's my primary NAT box), what would someone do to
get the log generated by logcheck over to say [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or have I
completely
lost it)...In doing a rpm -q sendmail, rpm states that the sendmail package is
not installed...can someone give me an idea as to how to proceed?
-Bill

# ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
