Tim,
Thanks for the suggestion, however, after changing ownership and acces
params, it still would not work.
Therefore, this is how the .qmail-postmaster file looks now:
Filename: /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
access params: 0644
owner: root
group: qmail
File Contents:
START OF FILE
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
END OF FILE
Exact contents of the error message:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mpmail.inside.missionprinting.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

Do anyone have any suggestions as to why the ALIAS support feature does not
work?
Thanks!

According to INSTALL.alias, you should create the ~alias/.qmail-XXX
files by touching them. Presumably you *wouldn't* be logged in as alias,
so the owner wouldn't be alias. Maybe that doesn't matter, but upon
inspection, I find all my ~alias/.qmail-XXX files are owned by
root:qmail.
Also, and more importantly, the dot-qmail man page says:
If .qmail is world-writable or group-writable, qmail-local
stops and indicates a temporary failure.
Your permissions are group writable. chmod 644 .qmail-postmaster and see
if the delivery works.
