Like stated above: this is not a qpopper issue. Consider explaining your
situation to a mailing list that is related to your MTA. Anyways, I can
only guess from your details; maybe your local mail client is using a
sendmail (or other) that uses one aliases file and your mail server (for
remote mails coming in) is using another. Don't continue this discussion
here on this list -- maybe discuss this on the list for your operating
system.
