hi i dont know exactly what succeeded but me alias don't run any more :-/

i know i used to be able to send mail via aliases from mae to markus@domain.com The names have of course been changed, simply for reasons of data protection.

frendly asking i need little help, i think i have syntax mistake on mysql syntax call please why auth-worker don't find the alias mae, and send back "unknown user" ?

emails send to markus@domain.com and also other mail adresses will run without problems. only the function alias no longer wants to.

yes this exist as mailbox

# dovecot user markus@domain.com field value uid 10000 gid 10000 home /srv/vmail/domain.com/markus mail maildir:~/Maildir quota_rule *:storage=0

yes the mae are only a alias, so i think this are right!?

# dovecot user mae@domain.com userdb lookup: user mae@domain.com doesn't exist field value
