Have you tried prefixing the email address with & to make sure qmail knows it's an email address to forward to? Can you post logs of what happens when you try emailing root@? __________________ Chris Bolt [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bolt.cx -----Original Message----- From: Cleo Macy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 8:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: .qmail alias file with an underscore in the entry... Hi, I've looked in the qmail FAQ but have not found an answer to my question. I hope someone out there can help me. I have tried creating an alias for the root user on my FreeBSD system, but have noticed that if I put an email address with an underscore in it, such as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", in the /var/qmail/alias/.qmail- root file, the mail never gets forwarded to that address. But the forwarding seems to works fine with any other address that doesn't contain an underscore. Is this a limitation of the qmail alias mechanism? If so, is there a workaround? If not, what am I doing wrong? Thanks! -Cleo
