First make sure that the domain you are sending to is set as a virtual mailbox domain. It sounds like you've already set the virtual transport to dovecot which is right. If you think mysql is the issue try making a virtual alias maps hash file.

But I´m currently not sure, how to test this. When i directly make the query in sql, it works fine (aka, it returns an empty result, if the mailaddress is not equal to one of the aliases). i also tried to change the mysql-virtual.cf so that it uses a query (query = SELECT dest FROM virtual WHERE alias = "%s";), but the behavior did not change. mind you, when there´s an error in this file, i can´t send any mails, so it seems to be used in some way or other. -_-; any hints would be appreciated =) best regards sil -- -- "Do you know what happens to a toad struck by lightning..?
