Remo, I do not use mysql. Please let me know what other info you need. As noted in my original email, regarding the .qmail files: > > It does not matter where the .qmail file is located. Some examples: > > /home/vpopmail/domains/naxum.com/.qmail-frederick > > /var/rep/data/backoffice.gonewnetmail.com/qmailalias/.qmail-achievers > > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-fred > > > > Each of the above .qmail files contains "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" on a single > > line, nothing else in the file. > > > > Each of the above files, and the directory they are in, are owned, > > respectively, by: > > vpopmail:vchkpw > > gonewnetmail:mailgroup > > root:qmail The only domain that is handled by vpopmail, for the examples above, is naxum.com. So let's deal with just that one. I have added naxum.com to the vpopmail with vadddomain. vpopmail put "naxum.com:naxum.com" into virtualdomains, and the relevant entry into users/assign. Email to users added with vadduser are delivered properly. It is my understanding that any .qmail files, matching the user name in an incoming email, in /home/vpopmail/domains/naxum.com will be used before the delivery instructions in .qmail-default. That is what is NOT happening. Here is a dir listing of /home/vpopmail/domains/naxum.com drwx------ 10 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Oct 30 17:17 . drwx------ 7 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Oct 24 22:24 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 34 Oct 22 15:18 .dir-control drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 28 08:47 fred drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 28 08:46 postmaster -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 55 May 28 08:46 .qmail-default -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 21 Oct 30 17:17 .qmail-frederick -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 843 Oct 20 11:07 vpasswd -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 3067 Oct 20 11:07 vpasswd.cdb -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 0 Oct 20 11:07 .vpasswd.lock Email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is fine. Email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] seems to vaporize. The file .qmail-frederick contains the single line "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (without the double quotes) which, based on my understanding, means that email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That does not happen. The file .qmail-default contains the single line "| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox" (without the double quotes). Please let me know what other information will help you help me. Thanks, Fred
