Jamie, Forget about dbmail-users. Look at the tables directly. dbmail-users won't show *everything*. In fact it doesn't show forwards at all (in 2.0).
if you want to have multiple users receive the same address: 1) two local dbmail users receive [EMAIL PROTECTED] dbmail_users: userid | user_idnr -----------------------+------------------------- john | 3 barbara | 4 dbmail_aliases: alias | deliver_to -----------------------+------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 4 equivalent but convoluted: alias | deliver_to -----------------------+------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarded to two external addresses alias | deliver_to -----------------------+------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lookups are fully recursive, so anything in the deliver_to field is looked up in dbmail_users.user_idnr, and if that doesn't yield a valid result, it is matched against dbmail_aliases.alias. If that matches the whole cycle is restarted with the result. And this goes on and on, until either a user_idnr is found (local delivery), or a address is found which doesn't belong to a local user (external forward), or until the maximum recursion level is reached (error). capice? Now what is *your* setup? I'm guessing you're confused because you're using addresses as userids. (which makes sense, in a way...). And pulleez, be done with the at dot com trip'n. Some clarity will help; 'someuser at blah dot com' is *not* a valid userid -- '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' *is*. Feel free to anonymize, but leave the syntax intact.
