virtual domains: what have I missed?
I set up the MX records for the domain, then did:

echo "abbe.timothy.org.uk:alias-abbe" >> control/virtualdomains
echo "abbe.timothy.org.uk" >> control/rcpthosts
echo "&abbe@her.address" > alias/.qmail-abbe-default
chown alias alias/.qmail-abbe-default

the permissions of the relevent files are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 126 Feb 18 11:56 control/virtualdomains
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 89 Feb 18 15:08 control/rcpthosts
drwxr-xr-x 2 alias qmail 2048 Feb 18 11:58 alias
-rw-r--r-- 1 alias root 14 Feb 18 11:58
alias/.qmail-abbe-default


I have other virtual domains set up in exactly the same way, and I can't see
what I've done wrong. Do I have to kick something for it to take effect?

Several people responded:

Um... no, I didn't. That worked. Musta missed that in the FAQ...
Thanks
