Dear all,

The sendmail under redhat 9 runs normally, However, recently, the root
account cannot receive email while the others do.

The following is the error log from the file maillog, and all letters sent
from the root are left in the clientmqueue folder. Kindly please give me
some idea to solve the problem.

Regards,
John

Make an alias for root.
Eb I have an alias, rootmail-- user in /etc/passwd with /bin/false as
shell, but that allows the mail to find it.
Then link /var/spool/mail/rootmail to /var/spool/mail/root, so root will
think it is its mail directory.
