Richard,
Here a two ways to accomplish this: 1) Create files of the following form in /var/qmail/alias: -rw-r--r-- 1 alias nofiles 22 Dec 2 16:33 .qmail-mailer-daemon -rw-r--r-- 1 alias nofiles 22 Dec 2 16:33 .qmail-postmaster -rw-r--r-- 1 alias nofiles 22 Dec 2 16:33 .qmail-root Inside each file is the following instruction: <mailto:&[email protected]> &[email protected] 2) You can also do the following: 1) http://mydomain.nl/admin-toaster/ in a browser 2) Go to qmailadmin 3) Log into postmaster account for 'mydomain.nl' 4) Go to 'New Forwards' 5) Add forwards. a. Name: mailer-daemon, root or anonymous one at a time (domain should be there already) b. Destination: postmaster c. Select 'Add' Eric Eric C.

I created a domain 'mydomain.nl' and added some users. Now I want to direct alle the 'root' mail, 'postmaster' mail etc to '[email protected]'. I tried several things, but still no luck. How can I do this? Under /var/qmail/alias you will have a couple files. They're hidden: .qmail-postmaster .qmail-root Inside those files you will see what email address is defined for each (aptly named). You can also define .qmail-anonymous and .qmail-mailer-daemon Thanks! I changed all the files in /var/qmail/alias and added your two other files. If I run logwatch, the user [email protected] gets the following mail: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at server6. I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced! <[email protected] <http://server6/webmail/src/compose.php?send_to=root%40server6.server> 6>: Sorry, I couldn't find any host named server6.server6.

So, no 'mydomain.nl' but a double 'server6'..... And this mail IS deliverd to [email protected]. Do I have to change some files in /var/qmail/control?
