Hi,

        I have setup a qmail server and it works fine.

        However, there is a big problem I can't figure it out. Please tell me your 
suggestions:

        I created a file .qmail-marcos.tang     at /var/qmail/alias and hope that my 
qmail will accept mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I sent a message from 
outside, I found the error message at /var/log/syslog. It is

============================== Start Logging here

        Apr 21 00:36:32 student qmail: 924626192.905650 starting delivery 323: msg 
212178 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/                                         
 

============================== End Logging here 
======================================================

        If I change my .qmail file from .qmail-marcos.tang to .qmail-marcostang, 
everything works fine. 
                                                ^ (with a dot)       ^ (without a dot) 
 
So I wonder my qmail doesn't know how to handle an email address with a "dot" between. 
Of course, I believe qmail should be able to handle it :)

        Do you give me any ideasor hints such that my qmail server can receive any 
email addresses such as

        [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Marcos.
