Re: GNATS discussion group

[Margaret BRIERTON]

Ok.....

So far i'm able to run "send-pr", create a problem report and send it.  This 
works
fine.  I'm also able to read the mail using "sendmail".

My problem is that i there are no entries being created in the database.  I 
query
the dbase and i get no matching results found, when i know that i've just send a
pr that matches that criteria.

I've attached my config and /etc/aliases file.

Can someone please offer me some help.

Thank you

Margaret
