Re: qmail aliases fail; chkuser 2.0.9 + vpopmail 5.4.25

aliases are .qmail-aliasname files.

"matt-foo" is not an alias. It is an extension of name "matt".

For enabling extensions you must enable (uncomment) 
CHKUSER_ENABLE_USERS_EXTENSIONS
For enabling ezmlm lists, you must enable (uncomment) 
CHKUSER_ENABLE_EZMLM_LISTS.

See 
http://www.interazioni.it/opensource/chkuser/documentation/chkuser_settings.html 
for more info.
