Hello...

I have an account on a server and I have a problem I can't seem to figure out..

the account has 5 e-mail addresses. I created a test box test@domain.com and then tried to mail -v test@domain.com a test message and it said completed. The problem is that it is all falling to the default e-mail box although the test box and inbox exists... I dont know what to do to get it fixed.. all the boxes are not writing mail and the default is caching everything..i have looked in the /etc/valiases file all that is there is *: defaultbox

Should be right..

I dont know where else to look.. any ideas ?

What are the ownership and permissions on the mail and POP user directories? What does your Exim log say? Did you try any other tests?
