Does the user pox exist on your computer ? What the result of sending
a mail to pox@your.box.provider.com ?
If you are using sendmail put a line like the folowing in your alias
file (/etc/alises) and run the newaliases command to rebuild the alias
database.
postmaster: root (or pox if it's your user)
If you are using qmail put your email in the file
~alias/.qmail-postmaster.
The postmaster adress MUST exist on every host connected to the
Internet.
