default email address aliases

Hi all,

qmail and vpopmail support a feature called qmail extension addresses that allows to create a wildcard aliases (e.g. user-anything@domain.com can be forwared to user@domain.com). I've been using this feature a lot on servers where I manage qmail myself but so far I don't seem to be able to set it up on Interworx-managed machine.

I have verified in SRPM in Interworx repo that vpopmail should be configured with --enable-qmail-ext switch so it should work.

First I tried to add the default alias to Email aliases in Siteworx in the form user-default@domain.com but that does not work - emails to addresses like user-test1@domain.com bounce and only emails to address user-default@domain.com gets delivered indicating that the "default" part is taken literally.

I also tried to the default alias by creating file .qmail-user-default rule in the vpopmail domain directory and import this rule using /home/vpopmail/bin/dotqmails2valias tool. Everything went smoothly, rule was found, imported, rule file got automatically deleted, and the alias even showed up in Siteworx web UI but the emails that should get delivered bounce as well.

Is there something specific about how Interworx uses qmail and vpopmail that prevents extension addresses from working properly or are there some additional steps that need to be carried out to make it work?

Thanks very much for help,
M.
