Re: [vchkpw] Problem restated - vpopmail/qmail and root emails

 In any case I first tried creating a .qmail-root file in the
 /var/qmail/alias directory and I got a bounce error stating that
 machine.domain.com was not in locals, blah,blah,blah.  So I added the
 machine name to locals and I didn't get a bounce error, but I also
 didnt' get the email in the forwarded account.

Where did the mail end up?  What do the logs say?

 I tried editing
 .qmail-root using vdelivermail (was wondering if it needed to use
 this file for proper delivery) and still no luck.

That will not help things.

 In my testing I also noticed that no aliasing seemed to be working
 for me for the domain.com domain.  For example, I have a real user of
 [EMAIL PROTECTED], this user has a .qmail-user file in
 /usr/local/vpopmail/domains/domain directory that has a command of
 /usr/local/bin/maildrop ./jr/Maildir/mailfilter and it works fine.
 But if I
 add a .qmail-useralias file with the same directive no email is
 forwarded.

By ``real user'', I assume that you mean a vpopmail user created with
vadduser.  If you create .qmail files in a vpopmail domain directory, they
will be interpreted by qmail, not vdelivermail.  Thus a .qmail-user file
overrides the vpopmail user.  If .qmail files are not working in a vpopmail
domain directory, then that is a qmail problem, not a vpopmail problem.

 Perhaps this is a separate issue, but just trying to include all
 pertinent info.  Sorry for the long email - I think I'm just missing
 something basic here...

You are missing your log files.  They should tell you exactly what is
happening (or not happening, as the case may be).

 I am using qmail and vpopmail (with users stored in openldap).
 Everything is
 working fine.  I want to be able to get all messages sent to my root
 account on
 the local machine and have them forwarded to a user in one of my
 virtual domains.

If the machine name is a virtual domain (and there is no reason it can't
be), then simply vadduser root@domain.  Otherwise, add an ~alias/.qmail-root
file as normal.
