I have read "Life with Qmail" about 20+ times. I believe I did not make my
question clear as your answer does not answer my question (or it does not
seem to):
In my case, ns1.mydomain.com has no mail package installed. On this server
when a "Cron" job runs, it does not find a user account "news" because I
deleted it (as part of another write-up recommendation). Therefore, the
"Cron" job creates a message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" informing that it
did not find the "news" user account.
This message display only during LOGIN process. Here is the login sequence:
--------------------------------------
ns1 login: root ; user id root is
entered
Password: rootpassword ; Password is
entered
Last login: Sun Mar 11 15:06:21 on tty1 ; This message is displayed
back
You have mail ; System displays
the mail message
[root@ns1 /root]# mail ; I enter "mail"
(system displays the mail messages...)
(messages are addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED] and are generated
by Daily Cron job)
--------------------------------------
Having explained it, I don't believe, "LWQ" or any other write-up discusses
this type of problem, if it does can you point the section where this type
of situation is covered in "LWQ".
My original question was "How can I re-direct the email messages generated
on ns1.mydomain.com?". Your answer will make sense if I have qmail loaded on
ns1.mydomain.com. In my original message, I said that ns1.mydomain.com does
not have any mail application on it. ns2.mydomain.com does have qmail.
Again, my question is; how email messages generated on ns1.mydomain.com can
be sent to ns2.mydomain, which has qmail on it and ns1.mydomain.com is
listed in /var/qmail/control/local?

PS: I re-read "LWQ" before sending this message.

No, I mean an actual, deliverable email address. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is a
deliverable email address. You put it in $HOME/.qmail for whichever user
you want to forward mail for.
Please read http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ before asking these sorts of
questions. It's one thing to be confused about something in the docs (I
often am, since they aren't very extensive), but it helps to at least have
a foundation to understand the answers people give you.
