Hello.
I am a new user of Qmail, well setting up MTAs really.
I have a problem where I have set up fastforward-0.51 with qmail-1.03.
The situation involves setting up an alias for a user with the name
of the form firstname.lastname. It seems that fastforward is unable to
alias names of the form firstname.lastname.
As well, I am trying to forward mail to Cyrus-1.5.19...
My setup configuration is as follows.
defaultdelivery/rc
/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver $USER
alias/.qmail.default
| /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
/etc/aliases
firstname.lastname: foobar
fudge: foobar
The qmail log file comes up with...
delivery 7: deferral: firstname.lastname:_Mailbox_does_not_exist_
which seems to be a message from the cyrus delivery program.
Why hasn't the Cyrus delivery program been told to deliver to 'foobar'
and not firstname.lastname. Is it a problem with fastforward?
I have read, searched and played with this problem but am unable to
resolve it.
Any advice is most welcome.
