I have setup qmail roughly following the Life with qmail guide, bar
that I used NetBSD's pkgsrc port (running on Debian 7.0) instead of
compiling a separate copy.
All appears well when sending local mail, and works nicely.
Issue #1: When receiving mail via UUCP, the From header is modified to
be from the local user, which I find strange.
Issue #2: I'm using the virtualdomains and aliases setup found at
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/outgoing.html#uucp
I have :alias-uucp in my virtualdomains, and the corresponding line in
~alias/.qmail-uucp-default , being changed only for the remote UUCP
host. Attempting to send messages to any other host besides myself, I
invariably get a bounceback saying that there is no local mailbox that
matches.
It looks to me like qmail is completely ignoring the virtualdomains
file, even though it's been HUP'd and completely restarted multiple
times. Aliases in general work, just not virtualdomains.
I've googled for insight, and read through the FAQ and whatnot, and
can find no further enlightenment for either issue. There are no
errors in the logs files. This is really killing me right now, as I
would like to move from postfix to qmail, but I rely on UUCP for
various reasons, and I'm loathe to try to replace something that works
so well.
Any help is much appreciated.
