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.

Stephen farrugia
