That sounds like a problem in the home directory
for the user 'georg' Those are the easiest ones to
mess up too since they're not in the qmail config directory.
Did you possibly remove or change any of your .qmail files?
Like a .qmail-default? Try putting a .qmail-default
in georg's home directory that contains ./Maildir/ or
whatever storage mechanism you use, or even an address to
forward all the mail to someone else. Also, make sure you
don't have any of those domains in /var/qmail/control/locals
that may be moving that mail somewhere before your
virtualdomains file is consulted...

Subject: problem with virtual domains
hello list,
after running qmail for 8 weeks now without any trouble so far, qmail
starts driving me crazy today !
i am running a webserver with qmail as mailsystem. furthermore i am
running my own named. i set up mydomain.com correctly in named with the
following subdomains:
mx.mydomain.com IN CNAME mydomain.com
ftp.mydomain.com IN CNAME mydomain.com
www.......
named runs without any trouble and works correctly.
/var/qmail/controls/virtualdomains contains the following:
mydomain.com:georg
www.mydomain.com:georg
now, the problem is the following:
sending an email to <anything>@mydomain.com ends in an errormsg
by qmail saying :"sorry, no mailbox by this name", although i
put mydomain.com into virtualdomains.
sending an email to <anything>@www.mydomain.com works perfectly.
replacing with "www" by i.e. "ftp" or "mx" in virtualdomains works,
too.
i am using qmail with qmail's own pop3d, not vpopmail.
i have checked through all my configfiles, but i can't find any
mis-configuration. unfortunately my system worked well since
tonight, although i DID NOT alter any of the configfiles.
somebody who can help me or give me a hint where to start my
investigation ?
