i did a fresh install of slink last night (& also tonight) and i possibly found a bug in smail,when i did the installation,the smailconfig command used when dselect install thing did not have the same behavior than the one used in a bo installation (i.e.i choosen the no.4 option,local mail delivered only) but it did not ask to which user to send root mail and my /etc/aliases was empty,after the installation,i choosed to download all my e-mail waiting on my isp mail server,the mail downloaded properly but then there where no mail in both 2 account on my computer,i fired up ircii,go to the irc.debian.org server and asked for help,with the help of a very good user,whe both troubleshooted my installation of smail but unfortunately,this hasn't given much result,i ended up downloading exim tonight,it installed right (& asked the right questions <grin>) and i could download mail properly,now my /etc/aliases file look right.
Alain p.s.BTW there could be a very real possibility that some mail messages was bounced so excuse me if such messages ended up on this list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
