It does. Thanks for all the help, everyone -- I followed your
instructions
and I am getting the desired results. I guess I didn't fully understand
how the virtualdomains feature worked; I didn't realize that qmail would
bounce the mail without a corresponding .qmail-[recipient] or
.qmail-default.
That's perhaps one area, though, that the documentation or LWQ might be
made *just
a tad* clearer -- it's great so far, but I imagine that one extra line
of text
would be enough to minimize confusion even further.
I'll see if I can come up with that magic line *chuckles* it's all a bit
funny to me right now.
I'm feeling decidedly like a punch-card computer scientist at the moment
=)
Again, thanks
