[SPAM] valias line that pipes into vdelivermail again breaks delivery valias documentation lax


Hi Guys,

I've been a Qmail users since Peter Samuel at SLUG.org.au did his talk a
long long time ago.

Now down to business. I have an issue with vpopmail failing with
virtualmin, a webmin spin off..
http://www.virtualmin.com/node/22970

Basically what happening is this, virtualmin is configuring
|/var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail user <at> domain for aliases and it's breaking.
Why it's breaking I don't exactly know why, because according to the valias
code pipes are supported.

I seek confirmation on the mysql implementation of vmail aliases.

* multiple aliases for the same domain are supported (true)
* if qmail extensions are used (user-ext <at> domain) in aliases they will be
used INSTEAD of the user's alias (?)
* qmail extensions are supported on aliases if there is not a better match
(see above)
? how do qmail extensions on aliases flow through to the user accounts ?
* pipes are supported (true) (see caveat)
* &forwarding is supported - in order to support non-standard email naming
conventions i.e. dot qmail compliancy (true?)
* mbox delivery is not supported (true)
* if no hostname is provided on alias it will use
/var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery (true? seems to be using
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject at some point noenvhost is ignored)

Haven't read your whole email, so I apologize if I'm off base. 

vdelivermail should only go in .qmail-default. It should not go in .qmail-alias files. If you're using it
there, you will have problems.

Funny enough I have it on aliases for years and still works great :)
