but that's not my problem - when setting up a vacation message with qmailadmin it creates a ".qmail" in the users maildir. but THIS FILE seems to be ignored!
i will double check that this weekend but i am almost 100% sure about that. like i said i hacked my qmailadmin to setup forwards instead of aliasses so i can not check it on my production-servers.
bye and thanks again

hi list...--
i'm using qmailadmin on all our servers for almost one year now.
the main problem we had with it is the way local "aliases" are handled.
let's see following scenario:
we have a mailbox and create an alias for that mailbox.
now the user owning the mailbox makes a forwarder or a vacation message.
now a email is sent to our alias... and it is delivered directly into out
mailbox - the .qmail-file in the mailbox directory IS IGNORED!!!!!
SAME IS FOR CATCH-ALLS!!! and this is a serious problem!!!
i've hacked the way qmailadmin creates aliases so it makes a forwarder to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] instead. don't know if there is any better way.
what do others think about that ?! is it a bug or a feature?!
would it be better to change qmailadmin's way it creates aliases or to
change the vdeliver-program to recognise the .qmail-file?
