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. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/
