Sean,
Ah, that did the trick. Thanks for you help.
Just on a side note I had a double alias like this for testing:
+-------+---------+---------------+
| alias | domain | valias_line |
+-------+---------+---------------+
| test | domain.com | &[EMAIL PROTECTED] |
| rpd | domain.com | &[EMAIL PROTECTED] |
+-------+---------+---------------+
Which would of course cause looping if mail was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When you do this with .qmail files it understands that a loop is there on
and reports: failure:
This_message_is_looping:_it_already_has_my_Delivered-To_line
This is not the case with the valias, it just continues to send over and
over again until the loop is removed manually.
Thanks,
-Ryan
