qmail takes that to mean that mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be
delivered into ecj's mailbox. Also, the .qmail-pogi file has to be
readable by ecj. If it's not, then qmail will defer delivery of mail for
that address. That's what may have been happening to you.

It's good that your problem appears to have been solved, but I cannot
understand how the aliases.cdb was affecting you, since deliveries for
doods.net.ph are controlled by ejc. Usually, aliases.cdb is referenced
when the username is not found in /etc/passwd. It always helps if you
can post the section of your log concerning these deliveries, because it
may point out something which you haven't realised. Anyway, since you're
OK now, it doesn't matter.

That depends. Like I said above, if it is empty (0 bytes), then the mail
will be delivered to ecj's mailbox. If you want to forward it on, you
have to put the forwarding address in the file.
