Hello all,

I've search high, low, and in the between places, but haven't been able to
get any help for my present problem at all. But I suppose I should provide
some background first.

I am running qmail 1.03-r13, qmail-scanner 1.16-r2, SpamAssassin 2.62,
maildrop 1.5.3, f-prot 4.3.2, and vpopmail 5.4.0-rc1, all on a Gentoo
server installation. My installation is very very similar (with a few
minor exceptions) to this guide's
(http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=111817). For the most part,
everything is working as intended, but I do have one very large, prominent
glitch. My aliases are not working.

The log files have been less then helpful in showing me where the problem
is, but from what I can see, so far, I gather things are going something
like this:

 * qmail accepts mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 * qmail acknowledges [EMAIL PROTECTED] as an alias for
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 * qmail sends the mail to qmail-scanner, which scans the mail
appropriately, and sends it into the queue.
 * qmail-queue happily informs me that the mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
could not be delivered because the maildir for user_alias does not exist,
despite the fact that it already told me it knows this mail should go to
real_user.

I'm not really sure where things are going wrong here, it almost appears
like somewhere in the chain it is 'forgetting' that [EMAIL PROTECTED]
is an alias for real_user... In fact, I half suspect that qmail-scanner is
at fault, but have no way to verify this. If anyone can point me at any
relevant information, I'd be ecstatic.
