My guess is somewhere like the mbox file in the users home folder.

You should script the mail command and set appropriate qmail env variables:

#!/bin/sh
# Set QMAIL variables for sender, user@domain
export QMAILUSER=user
export QMAILHOST=domain
/bin/mail blah...

Thanks both. I've scripted it like Darrell suggested. Works perfectly fine.

Thanks for the swift reply.
