If /etc/aliases exists at install time, then it is left untouched, since the admin obviously has what he wants there.

FWIW, the mail should be in /var/mail/nobody. > Installation was performed in replace of exim4 which was intentionally > left unconfigured during initial installation of Debian (to replace it > with postfix immediately). And replacing exim4 didn't correct the deficiency in exim4's alias file. lamont -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
