I'm in a small dim room with doors labeled "Dungeon" and "Forbidden".

And nouser is defined in aliases as nouser: /dev/null On one of the mail servers I maintain I just checked and I had 260,000+ messages routed to "*file*" in the maillog - which shows up as mailer=*file* in the logs. That maillog rotates every night at midnight. Is not really a freebsd-net problem so I removed that from the reply to line. Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
