so i am running a virtual setup using mysql for maps. when i try to send an
email to root it gets sent to r...@mail.domain.tld, this email address
doesnt exist, it is a local root account, so i have setup an alias in
/etc/aliases which is root: external_acco...@domain.tld but this doesnt
seem to be working. the mails just sit in the mail queue not being
delivered to the local account. I hope this is enough information for people
to help me.
Hope someone can show me the error of my ways :) Thankyou in advance.
Kind Regards
Tony
