ok so here is the first problem that i see...
You haven't specified a user to control this domain, unless ofcause that the user is
called
'branaghgroup'
What you prolly need is:
branaghgroup.com:alias-branaghgroup:com
then the alias user will control that domain.
Now you can set up the dot-qmail file ~alias/.qmail-branaghgroup:com-barney:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and you should probably also set up ~alias/.qmail-branaghgroup:com-barney-default:
|forward "$EXT2"@your.local.host.name
so that barney will also receive barney-*@your.local.host.name

you need a single line on the end of the assign file only containing a .
so it should in your case look like:
=branaghgroup-com-barley:popuser:516:516:/var/qmail/popboxes/branaghgroup-com/barley:::
.
but if you follow the setup i described above the file should look more like:
=barley:popuser:516:516:/var/qmail/popboxes/branaghgroup-com/barley:::
.
maybe all you need to do for your current setup to work is top add the single line
with a dot to
assign... i'm not sure, since i don't know qmail well enough yet to figure out from
the top of my
head of you can control virtual domains directly through the assign file as you have
set it up to
do.
If it works however i'd like to know :)
