I was asking about this early this morning and it ended up I was simply
not paying attention. I have a feeling this is the EXACT same case.
This is what my eyes in in the fastforward documentation about aliases
with qmail:
------------------------------------------------------------
--- Configuring qmail to use /etc/aliases
To activate /etc/aliases, put this line into ~alias/.qmail-default:
| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
If qmail is already running, make sure to chmod +t ~alias before you
edit .qmail files in ~alias, and chmod -t ~alias after.
------------------------------------------------------------
where is this ~alias folder? It is my understanding that aliasing, or
at least the /etc/aliases.cdb should be processed before the mail ever
gets to a single user. It simply does not make sense to me that each
user would have to have this .qmail-default file in his/her home
directory. Could someone enlighten me?
