Hi,
You forgot these
# redirect postmaster and mailder-daemon mail to root
echo root > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
echo root > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon
# after this you have 2 choices you can create a Maildir
maildirmake /var/qmail/alias
chmod -R 600 /var/qmail/alias/Maildir
chown -R alias:qmail /var/qmail/alias/Maildir
# or you can redirect all mail to root to another user
echo otheruser > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
# where otheruser is the user who needs to receive all the mail to
root
This should solve your problem.
