Since OBSD doesn't seem to want to let me have user
names over 8 characters, I'd like to set up an alias
to a user account to solve the problem. My impression
was that I could just do the following:
1) create /home/alias/.qmail-thealiasname, containing
/home/username/Maildir
2) chown that file to alias:qmail
3) create the user's Maildir, making sure it's owned
by the user
4) Go!
I don't have the domain in virtualdomains, as it's in
locals (in fact, it's the primary domain for the
machine). I didn't figure this to be a problem, as
.qmail-postmaster, .qmail-root, etc., work with that
domain just fine.
What happens, though, is that qmail tries to make the
delivery, and gives me that nasty "unable to chdir to
Maildir (4.2.1)" error. I assume it's trying to access
the user Maildir as the user specified by
.qmail-thealiasname, which obviously isn't right.
How can I tell it to go in as the user? Alternately,
is there another way to implement this? All I really
care about is getting a 9+ character e-mail address
set up, I'm not finnicky on how I do it.
Thanks,
Alex Le Fevre
