I am a qmail newbie <gag>.
I am setting up a virtual domain, with the intent of creating a mailing
list to operate from within that domain, but I cannot seem to get the
virtual domain delivery to operate as expected. I didn't perform the
qmail install on this box, but I suspect something is highly wrong ... I
just can't figure it out myself.
I know that dot-forward and fastforwarding are both installed here, but I
can't find anything to explain this behavior (I probably don't know where
to look).
Starting at the beginning:
I RTFMP and RTFFAQ, and followed the directions there:
add starfire.worlddomination.net:nepolon-starfire to virtualhosts
add starfire.worlddomination.net to rcpthosts
kill -HUP the qmail-send proc
But, I had to create a .qmail-starfire-default before local-local mail
to the virtdomain would work. Otherwise I was getting:
> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
> Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
This tips me off that something is rotten, so I play gumshoe...
This is the .qmail-starfire-default:
/home/nepolon/mail/inbox
Here is a local-local(virt) with the .qmail-starfire-default in place:

This is as expected (though I didn't expect to need the dot-qmail as
qmail-local does the same thing. I continue testing. This is

And this is the crux of _my_ problem (with virtual domains). Local
delivery can be made to work, but if the mail comes from the outside it
doesn't recognise the destination as a virtual host. Is this because the
DNS record for starfire.worlddomination.net is a CNAME of
worlddomination.net rather than another record?
Further evidence of foul play...
This is what happens on local-local(bounce):

Very wrong. We have no user 'nonexistant' ... where is the bounce? This
can make it rather difficult to find the message I sent to
