Hi all,
Thanks to a recent thread between David Gartner and Johan
Almqvist (re: Having problems with postmaster...) I was able to
spot my error. All of the users/groups had been created but the
home directory for user alias was /home/alias which is wrong!
Changed the home dir to /var/qmail/alias and everything works
like a charm.
