Yes. In the LDAP entry you also require: mailAlternateAddress: announce-catchall@domain It's in the documentation (somewhere) on how to use the dash ext patch with qmail-ldap, as it isn't the same method as standard qmail (where just announce@ matches a dash address). It will do lookups for: announce-subscribe@domain If not found, continues with: announce-catchall@domain And so on. Again, it's in the docs. -- | Stephen "Slepp" Olesen / VE6SLP | Edmonton, Alberta, Canada / (780) 425-4798 | President of Geeks Anonymous + http://www.geeksanon.ca/ +---------------------------------
