Thank you to all the folks who tried to help me with this problem, and especially Tim, 
David, Jeff and Howard. I hope I finally solved the problem by ignoring any instances 
of vpopmail or qmailadmin and just entering traditional .qmail files in my 
/home/africaalive directory. For new posts, everything seems to be working fine.

I apologize if the rest of this message is more on qmail than qmailadmin, but you all 
already have the background. However, feel free to ignore this and if I can't solve 
the problem, I'll go over to the qmail lists.

I'm still getting messages like this in my /var/log/mail:

Apr 26 08:59:00 virtual qmail: 988293540.763464 delivery 651: deferral: 
Unable_to_switch_to_/home/vpopmail/domains/africaalive.org:_file_does_not_exist._(#4.3.0)/

Apr 26 09:28:51 virtual qmail: 988295331.763548 delivery 652: deferral: 
Unable_to_switch_to_/home/vpopmail/domains/africaalive.org:_file_does_not_exist._(#4.3.0)/
Apr 26 09:28:51 virtual qmail: 988295331.763717 status: local 0/10 remote 0/120

The first message implies that it's still trying to deliver a message using the old, 
broken system. Is there a way to reprocess all messages in its queue to use the new, 
working, delivery method?

The third message also indicates that messages are being attempted using old methods, 
but this one I thought I fixed. The new, working method uses .qmail files in 
/home/africaalive. I also created a soft link from /home/africaalive.org to 
/home/africaalive, thinking that would allow messages like the third one in the log 
above to be processed, but this doesn't seem to have helped.

Any ideas on how to fix this, or should I just wait ?? days and let the messages 
bounce?

Thanks, again for all your help. Thanks to you all, I look like a magician.
