Hi
I have some of my aliases that are failing
with the following error
NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-px0-f171.google.com[209.85.212.171]:
450 4.1.1 <linuxinfo(a)example.co.za>: Recipient address rejected:
unverified address: unknown user: "linuxinfo";

while the rest are fine . the syntax for all of them is the same and
all are valid address.
