Is the alias in the /var/qmail/alias directory as .qmail-bhs or are you
using vpopmail? I always assumed that it checked for an alias before a pop
user account. If you're authentication from /etc/passwd and not using
vpopmail or something for domain control, then you might need to copy the
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-bhs file to /web/bhs/.qmail if you want to keep the
bhs username for something else.

Subject: oops, I borke an alias
I have an alias for our High School .qmail-bhs
which contains a list of all the users at our high School
That alias was working fine, until i added a user bhs for posting webpages.
Now I have to have the user bhs...
but I moved their home directory to point to /web/bhs
not the usual /home/bhs...
and i deleted the directory created by skel /home/bhs
but the alias is still not working...
how do i get the alias working again...without removing the user bhs?
Thanks,
