A few things that I have discovered/stumbled upon.  These may be obvious to 
others, but it took me a while to realize these and get past them:

On the front-end/inbound mail server, you should create the virtual domain 
normally and be sure to set the host alias.  For example, if the mailbox server 
domain is yourdomain.com, then create a virtual domain on the front-end server 
called storeforward.yourdomain.com but set the host alias for that domain 
configuration to yourdomain.com.

Otherwise, the front-end server will reject all incoming mail for [EMAIL 
PROTECTED] as attempted relays.

IMPORTANT: I found that if I didn't create the domain on the front-end server 
first, when I ran the scripts they partially created the domain in the registry 
but this was not correct and caused corruption requiring me to restore the 
registry to the snapshop I saved just before running the script.


Some of our existing domains on our mailbox server have a "nobody" alias and 
since there is no way to stop domain admins from creating "nobody" alias at any 
time in the future; rather than trying to delete all the existing "nobody" 
domains, I would like to alter the alias2ldap script that runs on the mailbox 
server.

Right now, the alias2ldap script running on the mailbox server will process 
"nobody" alias by adding it to the ldap directory.  Then the ldap2alias script 
running on the front-end server will process the "nobody" alias also with the 
result that "nobody" can still be used and you aren't protected against 
dictionary attacks.

I think it would be trivial to modify the alias2ldap script to simply skip over 
any alias that is "nobody" when it is running.

Sandy - can you suggest where to change the code before I try my limited 
scripting skills?
