Title: Qmial alias newbe ?
Post by: grunt on November 04, 2006, 11:58:05 PM

What does the 'alias' user do? I read as much as I can understand at Qmail and here, and still am clueless.

I don't mind reading, but this is get extremly over my head.
the reason I ask is dang if I know anyone like this;

deboraparro@boysinpantyhose.com

Now I know that this is spam. What throws me is this in the header,

alias-localdelivery-iamjustsendingthisleter@mydomain.com

Is that what the alias account does, forward to trash, admin or whaterver you set the unknown senders to?

Now I know this is something simple, but I am still new to SME and Linux .

Thanks,
Ed

Found a site that tells about qmail in simple enough terms that I think I figured out the problem with the spam..

Guess the guy with the pantyhose will have to mail someone else.

Ya'll Have  a Good one,

I am sorry I didn't book mark it, but I will try to find it again. Like I said, I'm clueless.

Again, very sorry!
