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.
