But "localhost" is furthermore the same as "phoenix". Sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] means sending a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] But "phoenix" means to relay the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see at the last line in /etc/hostname) That's why your E-Mail is always relayd to your ISP. You should check your /etc/aliases and delete the alias to the root. And also the relayhost. (smtp.pathcom.com) If you try to send a mail to your own root, you always will have to enter following recipint: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (there mustn't be any aliases to root or lacalhost) And if you try to send a message to your ISP-POP-account then you have to input: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You could only contruct an alias to these both (ssahmed and smpt.pathcom.com). But no aliases to root and localhost. Perhaps there's the problem.
