Actually we may chose if use alias (Maildir) or forward (address style). What I'm reading means we'll have no choice anymore?
That is correct, when creating an alias for a local account, it writes
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the .qmail file. qmailadmin no longer writes the Maildir style alias.
Will this make each message for an alias be processed like a message to the main mailbox?
If you mean "main" mailbox to mean it's eventual destination, then yes.
Will autoresponders on "main" mailbox will respond to all messages, including aliases ones?
Again, if you are referring to the "main" mailbox as it's eventual destination, then the autoresponder will respond to that message.
In what situation are you using aliases that should *not* follow rules of the final destination account?
An alias is another name for that account, therefore it should be processed as if it were that account. It's not an alias-bypass-the-processing-for-that-account. :)
I think it would be enormously confusing for users if they had an alias setup for there account, and later decided to forward their email to a remote account, only to find that emails sent to the alias are not forwarded.
