setting up qmail according to documentation

Hello,

I am planning to install spamassassin some day, and so was glad to see
documentation at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml

I have qmail running for about 1.5 year and so decided that I'd do the
whole installation again.

I have a third-level? domain at brankie.xs4all.nl. According to the doc
I should mention the full name in the files
me
locals
rcpthosts

and xs4all.nl
in defaultdomain and plusdomain.

When I do this, all messages are accepted by qmail, but I can't find
them.

When I look in the very readable log (ahum) It looks as if it tries to
deliver to brankie.xs4all.nl-henk@brankie.xs4all.nl.

I solved the problem by entering my full name in plusdomain. Why? don't
know. Now I am wondering if the doc has an error, or did I miss something?

Kind regards,

Henk.

Not sure what plusdomain is, but make defaultdomain brankie.xs4all.nl too.

Was the delivery a local, or remote delivery?
Does the user, or alias, brankie.xs4all.nl-henk exist?
