I haven't fully explored valiases yet, but my understanding is that 
they are a replacement for the .qmail-user files used for 
aliases/forwards.  Instead of storing the information in a file, it's 
stored in a database table.

We haven't decided yet whether QmailAdmin will be compiled to use both 
valias and .qmail-user files simultaneously.  When switching over to 
valias support, we might require the admin to run a tool to move all 
aliases into the table.  Or, we could read from both the valias table 
and .qmail-user files to display settings, and save new and updated 
forwards to the table (deleting the .qmail-user file once successful).

We do know that valias support in QmailAdmin will wait until we have a 
stable version to release, which should be soon.  We're focusing almost 
entirely on bugfixes at this point.

This is the idea behind valiases.  valias support is high on the todo 
list for qmailadmin.

Tom,

Will valiases support program delivery lines and such? If not, will valias
support work in a mixed environment alongside .qmail files?
