What about ~alias?

A .qmail*postmaster file must contain "divrlady".

Close. :-)

OK, let's look at your configuration:

>OK....  Here is the control/virtualdomains file:

>:forwarder-cdrinc
>altswingers.org:forwarder-altswingers
>swingnet.org:forwarder-swingnet

That redirects mail as follows:

  From                          To
  ----                          --
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]                forwarder-cdrinc-foo
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]           forwarder-altswingers-foo
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]              forwarder-swingnet-foo
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]               forwarder-cdrinc-foo

To "catch" these redirections, you'll need:

  Address                       File
  -------                       ----
  forwarder-cdrinc-foo          ~forwarder/.qmail-cdrinc-foo or
                                ~forwarder/.qmail-cdrinc-default
  forwarder-altswingers-foo     ~forwarder/.qmail-altswingers-foo or
                                ~forwarder/.qmail-altswingers-default
  forwarder-swingnet-foo        ~forwarder/.qmail-swingnet-foo or
                                ~forwarder/.qmail-swingnet-default

Now let's look at your test, which was sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] That was redirected to forwarder-altswingers-asm, 
which was handled by ~forwarder/.qmail-altswingers-asm, which
contained "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". That was redirected to
forwarder-cdrinc-asm, but because neither ~forwarder/.qmail-cdrinc-asm 
nor ~forwarder/.qmail-cdrinc-default existed, the delivery failed. A
bounce message was then sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], whch was
redirected to forwarder-cdrinc-mis, which was also undeliverable,
resulting in a double bounce to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which was
redirected to divrlady. I'm not sure where the postmaster redirection
occurred since you don't seem to have any ~forwarder/.qmail-cdrinc*
files. Perhaps ~alias/.qmail-postmaster.
