that's not in the user's homedir, that's a subdir "alias" that you
invented. if you create ~john/.qmail-john:doe you will be able to de\irect
messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the file. the ~/alias/
directory is not an option, I donno why you tried it.

why would it use an alias as a user? how would it authenticate it anyway?
RTFM... this is basic Email stuff, not even Qmail specific.
