Did you used the newaliases command afterwards? CM
I removed SENDMAIL and I guess newaliases is of the sendmail package, because I don't find the file newaliases.

Just make sure you have a valid symlink to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail in the places program usually look for sendmail (/usr/sbin, /usr/libexec) for compatibility with programs that need the good old sendmail. And of course, forget about newaliases.

Yup, that happens when you are not reading carefully the request.. Sorry for the mess-up. Sendmail <> QMail. CM

Of course not. You installed Qmail... and that's not... Sendmail... therefore it has a different manual, config files, maillinglists... and fans :D
http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html look for section 2.8.4 "Create System Aliases"
basically, all you need to do is: echo my_other_local_account > /var/qmail/aliases/.qmail-root ** OR ** echo &my_other_email_address > /var/qmail/aliases/.qmail-root
Hope it helps, Alex
Quoting "Alexandru E. Ungur" alexandru@globalterrasoft.ro:
echo &my_other_email_address > /var/qmail/aliases/.qmail-root
Hmmm... He'll probably want to escape that '&' or shell is going to bitch about it:
echo '&my_other_email_address' > /var/qmail/aliases/.qmail-root

You'll probably get better answers on a qmail-related list as it is very different from the standard Centos mailers.
