Thanks Rumen for your reply but I had a previous experience with qmail and I read lots of documents on qmail with Gentoo. However, I'm facing an issue with qmail-1.03-r16 after I created the aliases for root, postmasert and mailer-daemon based on (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml). Now when I try to send an E-mail to root for example, it is delivering it to the correct alias mailbox but with a failure message about bouncing bounces.
Note that I used the USE="logmail" flag while emerging this ebuild and I think this is generating the [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-mails...Any idea what is the exact use of this USE flag? is it important? How can I know what is the use of it? Thanks in advance...
