Dear All,
I've got a group called almosteveryone because we want to leave a few people off of the everyone pseudonym. A couple of users have left but they are still getting bounced when we use that group. I've had a look in /etc/group and they're not there.
This is the bounce.
Subject: failure notice

Wahay!! Just found the answer. I thought I might as well post this in case anyone finds it handy.
There is a file called /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-almosteveryone that wasn't being updated. Just manually removed the offending entries.
The server was 5.6 with all the updates.
All the best,
Julian
