Hi people!


i've just installed exim-4.10 on my system. i had had severel problems
with it but i could solved them ( finding the answers during reading the
maillist )
but there is still an error. i couldn't find the answer.

in /etc/aliases i put this line :

webmaster: gtnet

i tried to send a letter to my box (from my box) to webmaster@
(which is a non-existing user). but i got this error in exim's log:

(of course i replaced the hostname with xxxxxxxxxxxx )

settings)

system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail

data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
# user = exim
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
