BTW I have install exim as my MTA is the one I could get for PostFix will not compile .. I dit not look at Qmail...
Now What do I do to deliver the mail to local user.
That's what "exim" should be doing. The MTA will send e-mail out across the Internet. But it will also deliver to a local mailbox. Well, okay, sendmail and qmail deliver to local mailboxes. I assume exim would too. You may need to learn a bit about the configuration of exim. Find out where it is putting local mail. Two common locations are: /var/spool/mail/xxxxx and /home/xxxxx/Mailbox (where "xxxxx" is the user name). -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@galaxyinternet.net "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" -- Matthew 6:25b
