Tim,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I placed:
&john:doe:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
in the file ~alias/.qmail-postmaster
and it still did not work. I still received the same message back from the
server.
As mentioned before, the line
=missionprinting-org-john.doe.jr:pop3ctrl:508:503:/popboxes/mprnt/doej2
is in the users/assign file.
I am really confused why I am having this trouble. Everything else seems to
work just fine.
Thank you very much for your help. Do you have further suggestions? Is
there any data that I can provide to help shed some light on this?
Regards,
Tom

Try using : instead of .
i.e.
&john:doe:jr@<company>.<org>

Dave,
I added the following to the .qmail-postmaster file in the alias directory:
john.doe.jr@<company>.<org>
I still receive the mailer-daemon message.
What other data can I provide you to unscramble this mystery?
Thanks!
Tom Sarratt

All of those are valid things to do. An empty .qmail file is the same
as a .qmail file that contains the defaultdelivery argument from teh
qmail-start commad line. Putting a name is the file is telling qmail
to forward the mail to that user. If you just specify a username,as
you've done, you're essentially forwarding to user@me.
So, in your case, where you want to forward to
john.doe.jr@<organization>.<com>, you want your .qmail file to
contain:
john.doe.jr@<organization>.<com>
This is all detailed in the dot-qmail man page.
