[Mailman-Users] Help with Qmail

[Fabricio Vargas]

I run this script on /var/qmail/aliases

#!/bin/sh
if [ $# = 1 ]; then
    i=$1
    echo Making links to $i in the current directory...
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post $i" > .qmail-$i
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin $i" >
.qmail-$i-admin
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces $i" >
.qmail-$i-bounces
    # The following line is for VERP
    # echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces $i" >
.qmail-$i-bounces-default
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm $i" >
.qmail-$i-confirm
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join $i" > .qmail-$i-join
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave $i" >
.qmail-$i-leave
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner $i" >
.qmail-$i-owner
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request $i" >
.qmail-$i-request
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe $i" >
.qmail-$i-subscribe
    echo "|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe $i" >
.qmail-$i-unsubscribe
fi

And now i have the following files  on /var/qmail/aliases

-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          53 Sep 12 15:59 .qmail-lista3
-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          54 Sep 12 15:59 .qmail-lista3-admin
-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          56 Sep 12 15:59
.qmail-lista3-bounces
-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          56 Sep 12 15:59
.qmail-lista3-confirm
-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          53 Sep 12 15:59 .qmail-lista3-join
-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          54 Sep 12 15:59 .qmail-lista3-leave
-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          54 Sep 12 15:59 .qmail-lista3-owner
-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          56 Sep 12 15:59
.qmail-lista3-request
-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          58 Sep 12 15:59
.qmail-lista3-subscribe
-rw-r--r--    1 root     qmail          60 Sep 12 15:59
.qmail-lista3-unsubscribe

and i have this in virtualdomains

[root at ns alias]# more /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
mydomain.bo:mydomain_bo
otherdomain.bo:otherdomain_bo

but still the problem

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ns.asoban.bo.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<lista3 at mydomain.bo>:
vdeliver: Invalid or unknown virtual user 'lista3'

This is not the way aliases work with qmail. See
