I assume this is 

 cat ~alias/.qmail-root and produces '#' ?

This will forward all mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
assuming 'example.com' is the domain you're about to manage with
qmailadmin. This is _no_ replacement for a forward of mails to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

Seems your hostname is 'mail.example.com', your 'vpopmail-domain' is
'example.com'. Therefore '~alias/.qmail-root' jumps in and the '#' as
only content advises qmail-local to deliver the mail to 'Nirvana'. the
effect is the same as if you'd have written '|cat >/dev/null' into
'~alias/.qmail-root', just without the need of spawning an additional
process to trash the mail. So the mail _can't_ show up somewhere, you
told the delivery system to deliver these kind of mails nowhere.--
