qmail-ldap is not doing what you expect. If you wanna catch the mail for sancho-spam you need a ldap entry for sancho-spam else qmail-ldap will tell you the account does not exist. If you enable the dash-ext feature qmail-ldap tries a few more accounts. In your case: 1) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now if you add [EMAIL PROTECTED] to mailalternateaddress you can emulate the old qmail behaviour. This works only if you set qmailDotMode to both or even better dotonly. If you use dotonly mail to sancho-blabla will result in a no such mailbox error while with both it will be delivered to the main box. At least this is the theory. -- :wq Claudio "Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not the salvation of modern technology. Neither do they throw parties for the urban proletariat."
