virtualdomains syntax [was Re: 550 error with one particular v-domain using vmailmgr]

[martin langhoff]

hi,

I am still in a knot with this issue, but I'm starting to think
that
for the 'e-transurban.com' domain I should have something different
than:

e-transurban.com:transurban 

to map to the 'transurban' user. Should the dash be encoded
somehow?

550 error with one particular v-domain using vmailmgr

[martin langhoff]

hi,

I have a *very* weird problem with only one of the many virtualdomains
I am hosting with qmail+vmailmgr. The machine doesn't accept SMTP
connections deliveries for v-users of e-transurban.com.

The error qmail reports when rejecting *remote* messages is [from the
bounced message]


<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
200.16.153.4 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown
Giving up on 200.16.153.4.


I can read exactly the same in the maillogs on the server from which
I'm testing. It seems that the receiving qmail smtp daemon doesn't log
the failed connection attempt, nor its reason for rejecting the
connection. 

Sending a mail locally to the very same virtual accounts, using `mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]` does work though. 

I have a .qmail-default for the v-domain looking like:
---
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
|/usr/local/bin/vdeliver
---

and e-transurban.com is in both rcpthosts and virtualdomains. The DNS
settings seem to be allright, and I can confirm I'm connecting to the
right server (the IPs match). Other virtualdomains are working allright
and the very same domain works fine locally. 

I've checked and re-checked the DNS, and doesn't seem to be there. The
only suspect I still have is checkvpw ... may be it doesn't like dashes?
Do you have a clue? ... i don't :[
