Aliases are incompatible with account forwarding. For example, if I setup mailer-daemon as an alias for postmaster, then setup postmaster to forward to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will only forward messages sent to the postmaster. Any messages sent to mailer-daemon will be delivered to postmaster, which is obviously not the desired behavior.
I realize that aliases work by setting the .qmail-aliasname to deliver to the target account's Maildir and that this keeps any .qmail file for the target account from working. However, I can see this as being a big problem for users if I let them administrate their accounts or domains with qmailadmin. I view this as a usability problem / bug in the interface. A possible fix would be to convert any aliases into forwards both when forwarding is enabled for the account and when forwarding is already enabled when the aliases are created. If this is too difficult, then maybe an option to disable aliases entirely would be the best solution. Is there a better way to fix this with qmail? -- David Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://david.acz.org/
