Pat,

This issue was discussed fairly extensively in several forums in the past couple months (qmailadmin, vchkpw, etc.). The conclusion was that aliases should no longer be used, but instead everything should be setup as a forward. In fact, the qmailadmin developers have decided to remove the alias option altogether and only allow forwards. Thus, if you have an alias with the direct path to the destination Maildir, that will definitely result in by-passing maildrop, which isn't useful, and thus that line should be replaced with the &us@domain.com in order to funnel it through maildrop accordingly. There was discussion in the qmailadmin forum of writing a script that would handle mass conversion from aliases to forwards for an entire domain, but I doubt anybody has written one yet. A simple grep and sed combo should do the trick, however.

cheers,

-ben

Hi All,

I'm running a mail server using Qmail(1.03) with vpopmail(5.3.20)+mysql. Recently I decided to install spam assassin with maildrop to filter some junk mail. After installing and configured maildrop(1.5.3)+spamassassin it I realised that it was doing a very good job except for the aliases.

Example: I have an mail account te@mydomain.com and an alias tes@mydomain.com redirecting to another mailbox (already tested on a another server).

If I send an email to the mail account te@mydomain.com it's get filted and delivered without any problems. If I send an email to the alias te@mydomain.com I can see in the logs that the valias are processed but the email never got forwarded.

I've been looking around to find a solution, but after two days of research I only found another guy that have the same problem but no solution.

You can find his problem there: http://www.mail-archive.com/vchkpw@inter7.@ http://www.mail-archive.com/vchkpw@inter7.@

Thanks for your help!!! -Pat
