Yep...your right John, I left off the / in this example, and it is a local
dir that physically exists

Yep...but is the qmail-default in ~alias ?
If so...why should I not be able to have a .qmail-test in ~alias which
contains:
./usr/home/a55500/Maildir/
(this dir DOES exist and is owned by alias)
and have [EMAIL PROTECTED] end up in the above Maildir? In /var/log/maillog I
am getting unable to chdir, but I have set /usr/home and /usr/home/a55500
and /usr/home/a55500/Maildir and all subdirs to be owned by alias.
I know I am doing something wrong here...
a .qmail-test which contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] properly sends
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but

Looks real good John...if I can just figure out what is wrong with my
permissions...I think your package will work for lookups...
