I have a file in /var/qmail/alias called .qmail-abuse containing the single 
line

postmaster

The permissions on the file are...
-rw-r--r--  1 root qmail 11 Nov 25 04:21 /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-abuse

and /etc/passwd contains...
alias:x:501:502::/var/qmail/alias:/bin/bash

However, sending mail using "mail abuse" results in a bounce...
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. vpopmail (#5.1.1)

Sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from outside via SMTP gives...
511 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1 - chkuser)

Did I misunderstand how aliases work?
