I would guess that the problem is that sendmail is still being used as the default MTA. If this is the case you have a few options: 1) configure sendmail to properly forward mail 2) replace the sendmail userland program as described in section 4.2.2 of LWQ (http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#sending-messages) If I've guessed your problem incorrectly, then, well ... uhh ... I don't know. Hope this helps, Bill -- It may be that true happiness is nothing more than the ability to *always* know the right thing to say at the right time, whereas true misery is the state of perpetually saying to oneself, "What I *should* have said was..."
