I don't understand this. Why yildiz-fred? I thought it's called .qmail-yildiz or so.
My brain works... :))
That means if I send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] then I have to make an .qmail-buchung,

exists since the time I tried to mail to this address. Do I have to make an
.qmail-yildiz-buchung
file? I think so because a few lines earlier you write something with fred...

The following files qmail-specific are in the home from yildiz:
.qmail
.qmail-buchung
.qmail-default (created a few minutes before)
