X-Mail-Count: 04222

I checked on my development box for CentOS4.
I can send to mail@servername, but I can not send to mail@virtualhost.
If you have the virtual site that is same as server name, then you  
can send to mail@servername, but, you can not send to the other domain.
If you don't get the mail for mail@ at all of virtual site, change  
server name to be different with all of virtual site.

The alias of mail is in /etc/mail/aliases such as
mail:		root

Hisao
