Without looking at the RFC, I seem to recall is says that you must accept mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's not the same as having a vpopmail user named "postmaster" for the "example.com" domain. However, it seems to me to be pretty perverse to delete the [EMAIL PROTECTED] user, replace it with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then create an alias "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" pointing to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" !!!
