Yes, I created those alias domains long ago.

I don't think there was any utility to run to do a conversion of domain
aliases?  I'm pretty sure I read the readme pretty carefully whenever  
I did

an upgrade.  Did I miss something?

So what *should* I do now with all my old-style domain aliases?  Do I  
have

to mess with the qmail config files by hand?


The easiest/safest would be to do the following

Edit the users/assign file as follows.  Change lines like this:

+middendorfbreath.org-:middendorfbreath.org:89:89:/var/vpopmail/ 
domains/middendorfbreath.com:-::


To:

+middendorfbreath.org-:middendorfbreath.com:89:89:/var/vpopmail/ 
domains/middendorfbreath.com:-::


i.e., get the second entry to match the directory name (the real  
domain for the alias).  This assumes that domains/middendorfbreath.com  
is the real directory that the various symlinks point to.


Run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu to recreate the users/cdb file from  
users/assign.


Check the vpasswd files for the alias domains and see what they're  
using for the Maildir paths.  If they're using the real directory,  
you can safely remove the symlinks in ~vpopmail/domains.

Thanks a bunch.  Looks like I've got everything conforming to the modern
ways now.
