How did you install qmail? (tm) What's in /var/qmail/rc?

OK, so a message comes in for postmaster@whatever and is presumably
handed off to qmail-local, user alias, where it's redirected to
tom:sarratt:[EMAIL PROTECTED] qmail-send sees that
missionprinting.org is a virtual domain, so it's directed to
missionprinting-org-tom:sarratt:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

qmail-lspawn looks at the mailbox name,
"missionprinting-org-tom:sarratt:jr". It doesn't find it in
users/assign (because colons aren't periods), and it can't be a valid
username, so the delivery fails with "no such mailbox".

Change the .qmail-postmaster file to:

&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and it ought to work.

Apparently you were confused about the replacement of .'s with :'s in
extension addresses by qmail-local. That's not an issue here since
qmail-local will never see an address with an extension, with or
without .'s, in this case.
