They're fairly intuitive once you've stared at them for a bit.  Much easier
to read than sendmail's.

Yes.  This snippet of the logs is telling you that message #30135 came from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  Qmail then tried to deliver this message as delivery
#19 to local user [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Delivery #19 failed with the reason
given, therefore, message #30135 was bounced back to the sender.

Have you been playing with aliases at all?  That's the only reason I can
think of why webmaster would morph into scottb on an otherwise sane qmail
system.

By the way, it's beneficial to you and others to keep these discussions on
the qmail list.  Somebody with more experience is bound to have better
answers than me, plus future qmail users with these problems can then search
the archives and (hopefully) not have to ask the same questions again.
