This will fix the first major problem as listed in: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=qmailadmin&m=105361966010705&w=2
I my view creating an alias that by-basses the maildrop's .qmail file has ALWAYS been a bad idea. It only confuses the end user.
I agree. In fact, there should be a patch going into vpopmail soon that will cause the users .qmail file to be processed even if a /Maildir/ is specified in an alias file. (but my patch to qmailadmin will start writing it as an e-mail address anyway).
If you can, it would be nice to include the fallback address in your fix.
My previously mentioned vpopmail patch should also fix this problem, the part of the vpopmail patch that will fix it is here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=vchkpw&m=105301620128601&w=2
(that does not include the part to fix the parsing of .qmail files with a Maildir/, but that will be part of the final patch that will hopefully be admitted into the next release of vpopmail)
PS. This will be the 3rd time someone creates a patch to fix this problem. I hope this time it gets adopted.
I'm optimistic! :)
