We are running a large qmail/vpopmail/mysql install. Everything has been
working great. Today though I just had a customer complaint that said any
email getting sent to a certain address was getting bounced even though
they could see the pop account in the qmailadmin screens.

So i started checking everything out. vuserinfo [EMAIL PROTECTED] shows
all the correct information. I made sure the permissions on the directory
were appropiate, etc. All looked good. So I sent the account an email and
it bounced with your typical "Sorry, no mailbox here by that name.
vpopmail (#5.1.1)" message.

So now I'm confused. I logged into the mysql database and checked out the
dir_control and the vpopmail tables. All the information seemed
appropiate. So I add an account [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sent an email to
that. All works well. Next I create an account [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sent
an email to that. It bounced with the above error message.

So now it seems like there is an issue with usernames that have a -. So in
my test domain I create a user [EMAIL PROTECTED] and send a message to
it. All works well.

Next I looked through the assign, morercpthosts, and virtualdomains files.
There seems to be no difference between the test domain and the production
domain's setup.

So to get this user back up I created a .qmail-a-user that contained the
path to the pop user's mail dir. I placed that .qmail file in the
directory for domain.com

If anyone has any ideas, suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it. Below are
software versions as well as a clip from the log showing a bounced
message.

Thanks again ahead of time.
