Re: dot in names
[Marthe Nesøen Gangfløt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:] Hi people, I'm kinda desperate now, sitting here trying to make a couple of mailaliases work. The names are full names, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and they just don't want to work. I've traced the problem to the dot, since [EMAIL PROTECTED] works and [EMAIL PROTECTED] works. And since lots of companies uses "." in their names, I just can't believe that qmail don't support it. Of course it supports it. From dot-qmail: WARNING: For security, qmail-local replaces any dots in ext with colons before checking .qmail-ext. For convenience, qmail-local converts any uppercase letters in ext to lowercase. That means marte.gangflot is controlled by .qmail-marte:gangflot. -- Thorkild

Well, really I appreciate all the answers even though each new mail made me blush even more ;-/ I've read this, and I've seen it on this mailinglist if I'm not mistaken, but I still didn't think of it now. But I know now that even though I've read the FAQ before, I will do so again, every time I'm in trouble.
