Ok, let me clear something up.........the only .qmail file that a user has
is in their home directory. This file contains './Maildir/.
In /var/qmail/alias there several files none of which affect the domain in
question. '.qmail-default' contains '| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb' .
ALL aliases for virtual domains and local addresses e.g. postmaster, root
etc live in /etc/aliases.........this may not be the best method, but it
works...too much like sendmail eh 8-(( .
The original error message was "No mailbox here by that name".
The file permissions for all things /var/qmail/alias/.qmail*
[root@hermes-1 /root]# ls -ld /var /var/qmail /var/qmail/alias
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail*
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Feb 28 11:47 /var
