Re: mail failed, sending to address owner

[Richard Kettlewell <richard@elmail.co.uk>]

You need an aliasinclude director - add something like the following
to your /etc/smail/directors file.

     # aliasinclude - expand ":include:filename" addresses
     #    produced by alias files
     aliasinclude:
          driver = aliasinclude,   # use this special-case driver
          nobody;                  # associate nobody user with addresses
                                   #  when mild permission violations
                                   #  are encountered

          copysecure,              # get permissions from alias director
          copyowners               # get owners from alias director

See /usr/doc/smail-admin-guide/ for more information.

(There's a forwardinclude director which does a similar thing from
.forward files.)
