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 the /var/qmail/rc file tomorrow when I get to
work, if I don't spot anything I will post it and see if anybody can spot the
problem.
Thanks so far for everybody's input
