Ralf,
(sorry for jumping in the thread but it is kind of related)

I am a bit confused there.

I am using :
mailbox_transport = maildrop
with this transport in master.cf
maildrop unix - n n - 10 pipe
    flags=uR user=mail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${user}

And aliases are working ok. So maybe it seems to me that both
(aliases and using maildrop for delivery) are possible at the same
time.

By the way (while I am at it), sometimes I have an error failed to
deliver to mailbox (or something like that), the mail is still in
the mail queue but it *did* get delivered each time, and even
multiple times as the queue is tried again. Can it be related to the
number of processes (simultaneous delivery) set to 10.
It didn't really mattered to me before and I didn't check my
configuration, it is just when I did cut and paste for this mail
that I thought that might be the reason for this error.

Luc
