When you have a /./ catchall, you need an identity mapping in the hash file for every user to keep the catchall from grabbing it. In your example above, you would add other@elsewhere other@elsewhere to your hash file. Wietse's examples started out with just aliasing @example.com and not the whole world. In the case of aliasing only @example.com, no identity mapping would be needed for @elsewhere as it wouldn't match the domain wildcard. But you're using a global wildcard, not just a domain wildcard. -- Noel Jones
