qmail alias files

[GrahamBright]

Hi all,

I can see within my qmail configuration 3 qmail alias files. Does this mean that only mail addressed to postmaster, mailer-daemon and root gets redirected to user mmscadm

.qmail-default -> ./.qmail-root
.qmail-mailer-daemon -> ./.qmail-root
.qmail-postmaster -> ./.qmail-root
.qmail-root

all linked to qmail-root. which contains

|/opt/procmail-3.15.2/formail -f -a "Date: `date -u +'%a, %e %b %Y %H:%M:%S -0000'`" -A "X-Original-Sender: $SENDER" -A "X-Ori
ginal-Recipient: $RECIPIENT" -A "X-Original-Local: $LOCAL" | forward mmscadm

Messages sent to qmail are forward to mmscadm where my .qmail file resides ?

GrahamBright,

The procmail script throws me off a bit, but from what you've posted, mail addressed to postmaster, mailer-daemon and unassigned addresses does get forwarded to root.

What happens there is handled by procmail.
