Hi,

I checked several docs to find an answer but couldn't find one:

- a mail comes in from outside oder inside (same effect) to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- joe exists as a user on that machine
- joe's homedir is defined as /home/joe but does not exist due to a mistake
- there is a file /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-joe which is empty
- qmail accepts the mail with:

Jan 28 14:29:23 ruth qmail: 949066163.816821 new msg 299898
Jan 28 14:29:23 ruth qmail: 949066163.816947 info msg 299898: bytes 1686 from

Jan 28 14:29:23 ruth qmail: 949066163.983652 end msg 299898

but its not locally deliverd to /var/spool/mail/$USER (procmail). 

- there is no bounce, error message or anything else
- I'm using procmail for local delivery.
- there is no users file and no cdb

where is this mail gone ? It's not in postmasters mailbox nor anywhere else I
looked. Is it deleted due to the empty .qmail-joe user ?

TIA

Arne
