Re: www-data sends email to itself (bad interpreter)

[Ian Marlier <ian@onepost.net>]

Dunno what the interpreter error is, but...seems to me that you can 
just add an entry like
www-data:	root

to /etc/aliases and then run newaliases (if you're runnign sendmail, 
anyway), and then the e-mails are visible again...

Eventually all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. 
The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from 
the basement of time.  On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. 
Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.

I am haunted by waters.
