Qmail Alias

I think it come from

/var/qmail/alias

You can use command ls -al to list file in that directory.

You will see some file

-rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 18 Nov 16 23:23 .qmail-anonymous
-rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 18 Nov 16 23:23 .qmail-drweb-daemon
-rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 18 Nov 16 23:23 .qmail-mailer-daemon
-rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 18 Nov 16 23:23 .qmail-mailman
-rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 18 Nov 16 23:23 .qmail-postmaster
-rw-r--r-- 1 root qmail 18 Nov 16 23:23 .qmail-root

and you can use cat command to see inside the file.

cat .qmail-anonymous

you will see the email inside it file.
and the email in the file is as same as email in admin profile in plesk.
If you change email in you admin profile the file will change too.

I am willing to bet that if you look at the raw email header you will find a domainKeys error message on top of each of them. I had the same problem and there is only one way that I am aware of to fix the problem

Turn off the "Allow signing outgoing mail" option for DomainKeys in the email settings. But then if you don't go manually remove the domainkeys DNS records from all domains, you will start getting bounced email because plesk will not do that for you automatically anymore in 9.2.3.

You should backup original /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue file and replace with attached according your platform architecture - 32bit or 64bit. Do not forget set right permission to this file!

# ll /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
-r-x--s--x 1 mhandlers-user popuser 72408 Oct 16 21:58 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

Sorry guys the patch works .. You just need to make sure that both the ownership and permissions on the replacement qmail-queue are set correctly. It has the setgid set so you have to do it in this order:

chown mhandlers-user:popuser /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
chmod 2511 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
