I'd recommend you re-read the qmail man pages.  You've made some fairly
basic errors in the use of .qmail files, etc.

"supervise scripts"?  Do you mean the package by Bruce Guenter?  Did you
install qmail from his qmail+patches source RPM as well?  This is
relevant information.

In future, just give us the unedited output of qmail-showctl.  It's
easier for you, and it's in a standard format which we expect.  Oh, I
see you did later.  Good for you.

Do you understand that this will cause mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
to be delivered as if it was to a local account handling
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>?

And that this .qmail file doesn't handle mail for the above?

Read the man page for dot-qmail several times.  The answer is there.

That's fine; a normal fresh install of qmail doesn't have any
virtualdomains.

This is atypical, but if they're world-readable, it shouldn't cause any
harm.  Typically files are owned by group "qmail" or some such.
