I checked mine out to and I think what she's saying is that the
postmaster account is no longer the domain administrator in qmailadmin.
(ie if you log into qmailadmin as
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
you can not create, delete or otherwise modify email accounts. All you
can do
is everything a normal user can do, change password, forward, vacation,
etc. )
That is a bit of a problem as we set up domains for people that they
administer
themselves form qmailadmin.

When a domain is created, the default is to bounce email back
to the sender for any account that does not exist. We switched this
from the postmaster about a year or two ago.
Why bounce mails instead of sending them to the postmaster?
Based on experience, the postmaster account will fill up with
garbage emails and users don't pick up the emails from the postmaster
account.
You might want to rethink sending all non-matching email's to the
postmaster account. Most people want to bounce them back.
