Be glad you haven't. Be very, very glad :) > I thought the Delivered-To header was supposed to be set to the final > recipient... so I didn't think it would matter to use the address in > the catchall. It records the SMTP server's notion of ``the recipient'' at the time of delivery. Specifying a mailbox/maildir in a .qmail-default (as qmailadmin does) means all values of ``the recipient'' (except those with a more specific .qmail-foo) are deliverable. Once qmail-local has established that, all vdelivermail gets told is to put email into a specified directory. It doesn't know that the directory ``belongs'' to some other user. > That said, we can just tell people to use version x.x of vpopmail to > parse .qmail files via a Maildir/ in the catchall. That sounds ideal. BTW, the UI changes to unify nomenclature of alias/forward is very welcome. Thanks! Do you have any plans to retain the current alias delivery behaviour (i.e. delivery into a specified maildir) in any non-catchall situations? The ability to share a single maildir between a number of specific addresses and retain unique envelope information is useful in some edge cases. If it's not something you had planned to do I'll put it on my list. I want to get the bitbucket and bounce deliveries finished first. Thanks, ATB, james
