Hi guys!
I correctly installed my qmail mail server (thanks qmailrocks!!!).
Everything works fine, but I have a problem:

when i try to send a message to
root@mydomain.net
from any account (of the same domain or from another domain, such as hotmail.com) that message seems to be correctly delivered (no error message is generated) but that message is not present in postmaster@mydomain.net account.
I have correctly put postmaster@mydomain.net in file .qmail-root (in /var/qmail/alias) and chmod 644 this file.
I think my aliases are not working, but why do they receive e-mail messages?
(i have not created REAL account for root!!!)

Anybody can help me?

Thanks in advance!

P.S: I also noticed that if someone@mydomain.com sends a message to a NON-existing mail account of the same domain there is NO notification that that account doesn't exixst in mydomain.com.
Is that correct?
Is it for spam protection?
Is that message simply discarded?

UP!

Hi,

I searched here if I have the same problem with qmail aliases and I found your post. I also found out that there are no answers to your post. This is already an old issue, so for sure you have already an solutions to your problems.

May I know what did you do to solve your problem with aliases because I do experience the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

I don't use qmail anymore (sorry), so I don't even remember if I found any solution to that problem above (it's 5 years ago!).

I am actually using postfix mail server with Ispconfig on ubuntu server; I can point you to follow this tutorial:

Bye!
