Basically I have an extra linux user called "sysmaint" that is used to run backup scripts nightly amongst other regular jobs. I have created a Maildir using /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake ~sysmaint/Maildir.
This delivers mail fine to the local directory, but what I really want is for mail to sysmaint to just be redirected to root.
So far I have tried:
* Creating a file called ".qmail" in ~sysmaint/Maildir with "&root" as its contents. And: chmod 600 .qmail; chown sysmaint:sysmaint .qmail
* cp ~alias/.qmail-root ~alias/.qmail-sysmaint, in an attempt to use the same settings for root as for sysmaint which is to forward the mail to my own mailbox
I have restarted qmail /etc/init.d/qmail restart after each change but I'm not getting the desired results.
Any ideas?
