The message will come back later if fastforward is actually in charge of defaulthost. Apparently you meant [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---Dan

Complicated problem with fastforward and aliases
Hi, I am migrating a Solaris 2.5.1 box from Sendmail to qmail 1.03.. i have had no problems, with delivery to normal accounts, up until now. We have a large /etc/aliases file, which we want to keep.. so i installed fastforward, to handle it. All works fine, except for one problem: if there is an account, say, john, and an alias in /etc/aliases called john-hl, qmail will deliver it to john, before looking in ~alias/.qmail-default. Having a .qmail-hl at ~john is not an option, neither is giving up on this style (-l) of aliases we have here. So, i searched here in the list, and this had been posted before. Solution: put mydomain.com:alias-local in virtualdomains, and handle it from ~alias/.qmail-local-default. I done this, and this is my .qmail-local-default: | fastforward -p -d /etc/aliases.cdb | forward $EXT2 This works fine, but for one problem... if i have this sort of entry in /etc/aliases: alias2: account1,account2,account3 And i send email to alias2, the fastforward called above will work fine, and send email to all 3 accounts. But if i have: alias1: account1,account2,account3 alias2: alias1 It will give me an error message saying that the mailbox alias1 doesn't exist... so, from what i understood, an alias will work ok if the destination are normal accounts/logins, but if it is another alias, it wont. Anyone have any help here? I know it's not exactly great to have this type of thing (alias2 -> alias1), etc, but we have to live with it here, at least for the time being.
