Weird mail aliases issue

I've got this on a couple of domains on my box I upgraded from 7.5.4R to 8.xxx.

The issue is with phantom aliases still being delivered after they've been removed. In one case the physical box is still there, but a mail alias was removed and mail still delivers to it.

IE: [email protected] is the real box, and [email protected] used to be an alias of it. In the PSA database I do not see an alias for sales, nor under any of the qmail configuration can I find anything (though I'm still looking deeper).

Here is a log entry:
Sep 25 14:04:05 cartman relaylock: /usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 69.25.242.75:50369 (kyle.digitalchicago.net)

As you can see, email is still delivering just fine. There is no alias for sales anymore. I'm thinking of just removing the box all together as I'm migrating off this domain and it will eventually be aliased to another.

Found it I think, but I want to confirm something...

In /usr/local/psa/qmail/users/assign I found my phantoms. I want to confirm that /usr/local/psa/qmail/users/cdb is a cdb file of the assign's contents.

If someone can confirm that I would appreciate it.

Thx
James
 
Anyone know the simple command to rebuild the CDB file?

Normally in Qmail its using tcprules.

Not sure if I can do the same in the PSA Qmail install.

Thx
James
