Hi all, I think I found the problem and fixed it, by removing the 'stream' for qmail-smtpd in /etc/inetd.conf So no more need to look into this problem.

Hello, I had to reinstall part of my system, and since then qmail is acting strangely. I have tried to locate the answer in the archives, but I cannot find it. When I dial into my ISP, qmail now starts downloading incoming mail by itself. It did not do that before. In itself this is not a terrible thing, but the mail that is retrieved is dumped into the alias-directory that I set up for serialmail. This directory usually just contains the mail I want to send out. Can anyone please tell me how to prevent qmail from downloading my e-mails? I usually get that with Getmail, this puts things where they belong.
