I think there is a gotcha with aliases, this is what I believe I observed (Declude 
1.53, IMail 7.1):

If you have an alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you define it as a username, e.g. "bar" then 
the $default$.junkmail for domain some.domain will be used.

However if have an alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you define it as an email address at the 
same domain, e.g. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then the $default$.junkmail for *primary IMail 
domain* will be used (the default $default$.junkmail if you will).

In both cases the email is delivered to the same .mbx file, but the $default$.junkmail 
used is different.

The default default is used, even if you have $default$.junkmail specifically for the 
primary IMail domain.

Scott - have I got this straight?

If you want to replicate this, put a CATCHALLEMAILS in each $default$.junkmail with 
different text, and then send email through aliases defined in different ways and look 
at the headers.

Aaron.
