This confirms what I was thinking then,
It looks as if you have missionprinting.org setup as a virtual domain,
therefore the ~alias is not the proper place to put the aliases for that
domain, as you can see its not even looked at.
I never have read the single-uid-howto, I use vpopmail; however I would
assume you would need to put aliases for the domain within the domain home
dir.

Tim,
Thank you for the previous recommendations. However, it still is not
working... (this is crazy)
To answer you directly:
1) In /var/qmail/control does rcpthosts and locals have:
missionprinting.org
in them?
ANSWER:
rcpthosts did have it.
locals did not have it.
Instructions provided at:
http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/qmail/single-uid-howto.html
specifically said not to add <company>.<org> to the locals file as it would
disturb delivery of EMAIL. I tried it, and the server would receive EMAIL
for everyone, but would not place the EMAIL in anyone's boxes.
2) Users are defined as you documented below in the assign file.
3) START/STOP QMAIL. At this point, I am rebooting the server just to be
sure...
***
More suggestions will be welcomed. Please keep me in mind!
Thanks!
Tom Sarratt

Tom,
In /var/qmail/control does rcpthosts and locals have:
missionprinting.org
in them?
And the next thing I can think of is where does the
email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
point to? Is it defined in /var/qmail/users/assign file?
=tom.sarrett.jr:<unix id>:UID:GID:<home-directory>:::
And then you created the cdb file using the
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu command?
Or is it an aliases that is defined in /etc/aliases
that is used by fastforward?
I am just throwing out ideas... to debug this...
And after all the changes, have you stopped and started qmail?
I have attached a PDF which helps to show the flow
through qmail (the Big Picture)...

Tim,
Thanks for the suggestion, however, after changing ownership and acces
params, it still would not work.
Therefore, this is how the .qmail-postmaster file looks now:
Filename: /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
access params: 0644
owner: root
group: qmail
File Contents:
START OF FILE
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
END OF FILE
Exact contents of the error message:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mpmail.inside.missionprinting.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

Do anyone have any suggestions as to why the ALIAS support feature does not
work?
Thanks!

According to INSTALL.alias, you should create the ~alias/.qmail-XXX
files by touching them. Presumably you *wouldn't* be logged in as alias,
so the owner wouldn't be alias. Maybe that doesn't matter, but upon
inspection, I find all my ~alias/.qmail-XXX files are owned by
root:qmail.
Also, and more importantly, the dot-qmail man page says:
If .qmail is world-writable or group-writable, qmail-local
stops and indicates a temporary failure.
Your permissions are group writable. chmod 644 .qmail-postmaster and see
if the delivery works.
