It looks as though I'm running 5.3.6 according to vdeldomain -v, which would appear later than 4.9.2, but... still doesn't work right, and I have an alias sitting around now doing nothing but shoving 100 spam messages a day into my inbox (Haven't figured out DSPAM for vpopmail or qmail yet.)
I tried doing this manually without using vqadmin and am getting the same thing now
vdeldomain aliasdomain
deletes the parent domain directory, but doesn't appear to delete either the parent or the alias from the mdb or whatever it's storing it's information in
vadddomain parentdomain Error: Domain already exists
vdeldomain parentdomain Error: Domain does not exist
vaddaliasdomain aliasdomain parentdomain vaddaliasdomain: Domain already exists
Looks like things somehow got really screwed.

Whenever I go to vqadmin to delete an alias domain, it ends up deleting the parent domain (which really ended up screwing me), and leaves both the parent domain AND the alias domain listed in vpopmail. To actually delete the parent domain to re-create it, I have to copy another virtual domain directory to /home/vpopmail/domains/parentname, and then delete the parent from vqadmin (or run vdeldomain). After deleting the parent, I'm also unable to delete the alias, as it says it doesn't exist (refering to the parent).
vqadmin doesn't appear to be actively developed anymore (last stable version is almost 2 years old, last dev version is over a year old). I have found it to be dubious in the past as well, and steer clear of it. This problem does not occur with vdeldomain in the current release, and has not in a long time.
Weird bug? I'm running the versions of qmail/vpopmail that are listed on the walkthrough, I can't remember what they are though as vpopmail apparently doesn't have a --version switch.
All vpopmail programs have had the -v (version) option since 4.9.2. What version did you install?
