Hello, Thank you. I got the root working with virtual_aliases. My question is before I put in the virtual alias mapping mail anacron atempted to deliver to root should have bounced, I'm wondering why it didn't and also why the root virtual mailbox was created under the virtual mailbox store?
For my virtual alias maps should I put them all under the mysql database or have them mixed? Thanks. Dave.
