I can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it
succeeds.

I strongly discourage the use of examples when trying to debug
configurations. If you just cut'n'paste config files and error
messages, there's no chance of losing potentially valuable
information.

What *exactly* does your virtualdomains contain, in its entirety?
Better yet, was does qmail-showctl say?

What *exactly* is in "~alias/.qmail-testingdomain-testing"?

What *exactly* do your log files say when you conduct a test?

 My virtualdomain file looks as this:
 testingdomain.com:alias-testingdomain
 
 and I have ~alias/.qmail-testingdomain-testing pointing to a test account.
 
 Any ideas on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
 
 With thanks in advance

Did you remember to send a SIGHUP to qmail-send? I did and it works for
me:

/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:

testingdomain.com:alias-testingdomain

~alias/.qmail-testingdomain-testing:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

ps -ef | grep qmail-send

qmails 22931 22928  0   Jun 06 ?0:57 qmail-send

sudo kill -HUP 22931

/var/qmail/bin/mailsubj testing [EMAIL PROTECTED]  /dev/null
