I hate IT mysteries, but to often they plague our existences.
The first thing I would check is any .qmail* file.
vdeliver delivers email to your inbox and dovecot can as well if set up..
what is in your .qmail* files for domain and user?
Is the alias in the mysql/maria DB?

I will get a mailer-daemon message immediately following delivery of
the message I sent to myself. The bounce is for some email address I
never sent the email to (but the email message is attached to the
mailer-daemon message, so it was apparently the one I just sent to
myself). I don’t even know the email address at all, and when I do a
search in the logs in the /send, /smtp and maillog file, the email
address is not there anywhere. When I look at the current log file in
the /send directory, it shows I only sent a message to myself and
shows delivery to myself then shows the bounce message was initiated
and sent to me.
What is causing this to happen? The email address I am sending to is
an alias created and stored in vpopmail (not a .qmail alias I set up
manually) and only forwards to my mail mailbox. Is this because of a
corrupted database somehow? Once again, the email address that I get
the bounce from isn’t ANYWHERE in any of my logs so it’s not like it
was a recent attempt for an smtp connection or something.
Would appreciate any insight to this as I certainly don’t want any of
my emails just going out to random email addresses. (Though, once
again, the logs show nothing was actually sent out even though I got a
mailer-daemon message from my server that the message was undeliverable).
