According to http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=287 you have to use the full mail address. Otherwise check your password for correctness. Another problem might be the line in your revaliases file. The separator between the columns is a colon not equals (right after the 'root'). If you don't send mail to other people from your root account you do not need that line anyway. ms
