Vpopmail dont check /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-* . For example: $echo "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon $mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then qmail answers: " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. vpopmail (#5.1.1) "
That makes sense -- some.domain.com is a virtual domain. The .qmail files in ~alias/* are only used for local domains.
User "sun" presents in my virtual domail "some.domain.com".
I use mainly QMR installation: qmail-1.03-jms1.5c.patch (http://www.jms1.net/qmail/) + qmail-103.patch + qmail-maildir++.patch
I compilled Vpopmail with: ./configure --enable-valias; gmake && gmake install-strip
What version of vpopmail are you running? If it's anything in the 5.3 series, you should upgrade to 5.4.0 or later (5.4.5 is a pretty solid release).
Use the valias program to create an alias from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
valias -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
