Yes, that was a problem. Basically, I discovered that all my user groups
and homedirs were messed up. So, I deleted everything, and reinstalled.

But, while I fixed several problems that would have cropped up later, I
didn't get the one I was trying to fix. Alias'es still don't work.

In /var/qmail/alias

I have .qmail-root  . In that file, I've tried leaving it blank (according
to INSTALL.alias, this should put all the mail in ~alias/Mailbox)
&login@somedomain.com (with and without the '&').

This should work. but it does not. The qmail daemons are running. Inetd is
running. 

What am I missing?!?

namaste,
Mark
