Line 1 is not ignored, the problem is that wildcards are evil and should be avoided. Virtual alias lookups are recursive, so you'll need a 1-1 mapping to stop the recursion. Also be careful with your expressions so you don't get unintended matches. Something like: /somename+.*@example\.com$/ some...@gmail.com /^some...@gmail\.com$/ some...@gmail.com IF /@example\.com$/ /./ somelocaluser@localhost.localdomain ENDIF If you really intend your wildcard to capture the whole internet address space and redirect it to somelocaluser, you can remove the IF and ENDIF statements. Such a setup is common in a testing lab, but never in the real world. -- Noel Jones
