You have a somewhat confusing setup where some domains are handled by
control/locals, and others by control/virtualdomains. Unpicking this gives the
solution.

No they're not, see below.

Yes, for different reasons.

Will handle (support@) sf.firstb2b.net (sf.firstb2b.net in
control/virtualdomains).

No 'dash' field given, so will look for files .qmailsupport or .qmaildefault for
any delivery instructions; if not found will deliver to a Maildir in that
directory (if Maildir is the default delivery instruction for qmail-send).

I suggest adding a 'dash' field to the above users/assign line, so instead of
':::' at the end you'd have ':-::'. Then qmail will look for .qmail-support or
.qmail-default which is a more typical qmail setup (use qmail-newu to update
users/cdb after editing).


> =support:popuser:1011:100:/var/qmail/popboxes/firstb2b-net/sf:::

Will handle support (@firstb2b.net) (firstb2b.net in control/locals)

uses .qmail

In fact this looks for .qmailsupport, .qmaildefault; neither found, assumes
default delivery of Maildir (qmail-send startup argument). That's why you're
not seeing the expected outcome of consulting the .qmail file.

Link .qmail to .qmailsupport (or .qmail-support if you adjust users/assign as
suggested above). Let us know if that solves the problem.

I put the dash in and made a .qmail-default and all works fine. My mistake
was thinking the dash, ext worked the same for wildcards as it did simple
assignments.
After 10 minutes of RTFM with a bit more care I spotted it.

Thank you very much for your time.

Warmly

John
