After 7 years using qmailtoaster I only just realized some unexpected behavior 
with `valias` versus aliases in .qmail files. I thought I'd mention this here 
in case others also weren't aware of this, or if I'm wrong y'all can call me 
crazy.

I discovered if you use `valias` to create a virtual alias of an existing local 
mail account (as opposed to a new line in a .qmail file for the user with 
`&[email protected]`), the valias takes precedence, and no mail will be 
delivered locally. In other words it seems the user .qmail files or the domain 
default .qmail file are ignored completely.

Instead, if you modify a .qmail file to add `&[email protected]` in addition 
to the local mail delivery rule (preferably through vqadmin, which modifies the 
.qmail file for you) the forwarding will happen as expected: mail will be 
delivered to the local mail account, and to the forwarded destination.

Does this ring true?
