Nothing...but is solved the problem now. The permissions of the
virtualdomains file in /var/qmail/control were wrong. After chmod them all
works fine. My mails arrive in my alias-outbound maildir and serialmail send
them to my isp. I receive: Msg. accepted for delivery! Hooooraaaayyyy!
Thx. to all here and special thx. to John White!
But be sure...ill return in the next episode of this story with another
question and with a NOT REBOOTED machine :-))))
CYA
