I'm confused (my knowledge of sendmail is getting stale): if the mail bounced, or double-bounced, it should ultimately end up in someone's mail folder, either the originators, or, if that can't work, postmaster's. If you have mail in /var/spool/clientmqueue, then it sounds like mail hasn't been delivered yet. What does 'mailq' show you? Is the undelivered mail destined for a local user (yourself, or postmaster), or is it destined for a remote address? If it's destined for a local user, you should be able to use aliases to vector it into the mailbox you want. See aliases(5). If it's destined for a local user, but not being delivered, then we'd have to look a little deeper... What are your sendmail-related settings in rc.conf? > -- > Yours Sincerely > Shinjii > http://www.shinji.nq.nu -- Brian Reichert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 55 Crystal Ave. #286 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1725 USA BSD admin/developer at large _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
