virtual domain and aliases
Hi to all! I already have the following entry in my virtualdomains file: doods.net.ph:ecj If I send mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], no problem. However, if I send to an alias, say [EMAIL PROTECTED], it remains in the queue. I already have a user named 'pogi' and have .qmail-pogi in ~ecj. What else am I missing here? Thanks in advance!

What are the contents of ~ecj/.qmail-pogi and what do your logs show when qmail attempts delivery for [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? -- See complete headers for more info

What are the contents of ~ecj/.qmail-pogi and what do your logs show when qmail attempts delivery for [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? ~ecj/.qmail-pogi contains nothing. My log complains something about the aliases.cdb file. I checked it and found it to be corrupted. Fixed this already. I think that fixes the problem. BTW, do I have to put something in ~ecj/.qmail-pogi or should I leave it empty? Thanks Anand! -- See complete headers for more info

Also, the .qmail-pogi file has to be readable by ecj. If it's not, then qmail will defer delivery of mail for that address. That's what may have been happening to you. My log complains something about the aliases.cdb file. I checked it and found it to be corrupted. Fixed this already. I think that fixes the problem. It's good that your problem appears to have been solved, but I cannot understand how the aliases.cdb was affecting you, since deliveries for doods.net.ph are controlled by ejc. Usually, aliases.cdb is referenced when the username is not found in /etc/passwd. It always helps if you can post the section of your log concerning these deliveries, because it may point out something which you haven't realised. Anyway, since you're OK now, it doesn't matter. BTW, do I have to put something in ~ecj/.qmail-pogi or should I leave it empty? That depends. Like I said above, if it is empty (0 bytes), then the mail will be delivered to ecj's mailbox. If you want to forward it on, you have to put the forwarding address in the file. -- See complete headers for more info
