Thank you. That allays my fears.

Because I have something like:


vdomain: :fail: Sorry, the recipient "$original_local_part" doesn't exist at the domain \
"$original_domain". Pleas contact <admin@???> for clarification.

..and I need those values expanded.

Aah, that is the reason!! I have MAILER-DAEMON in the aliases file, but not
mailer-daemon.
My debug was using mailer-daemon! This is a very stupid mistake on my part that
is caused by less reading. I did not know about the case-sensitivity.

Actually before you wrote to me, I had tested rebuilding the cdb and it still did
not work, while an lsearch on a flat file worked. Now you have enlightened me.
I just need to read more about CDB.

This would need a catch-all router, correct? I haven't used the * in the /etc/aliases
but I use it for virtual domains.

No need. You have actually solved my problem. I don't need a catch-all alias.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH and have a good weekend.
