Scalix Forums

i have a problem
befor i installed scalix i used postfix/dovecot for internal mails
when hylafax had a fax i recieved a mail with fax as pdf
with scalix no funktion
the mail are in /var/spool/mail/USER and i can not recieve the mails

Looks to me like the address to which the fax is being sent is resolving to the Linux user 's (USER) mail file.

What is the output of



I suspect this will result in output saying something like:
USER. deliverable: mailer local, user USER

where user is the address being sent to.

also the output of



which will probably just return USER

To route the mail to a Scalix user you have a number of options:

1. Create a .forward file in the USER's home direcotry (~USER)
2. Create an alias in /etc/aliases
3. Add the INTERNET-ADDR that is being sent to the Scalix user who should be getting the mail.

Right now it looks to me like the address being used isn't routing into the Scalix server, any one of the above ways should address this, with (3) being the simplest.

Hope that helps.
