An error while adding forwarders?

I've never received this error before, but today I am and it's getting on my nerves. :p

Fatal! Write Failure: /etc/valiases/secretlifefan.org. Ignore any messages of success this can only result in failure!

And that's everytime I try to add a new forwarder.

Obviously. haha!

Oh, and are AOL e-mails disallowed to add for the forwarders? I read that in another thread and was wondering if it was still true.

Yes they are unfortunately

It may let you add them but a cron runs every 15 mins and deletes them.

I was wondering why this one e-mail was deleted. I just ended up setting up a POP3 account for her instead.

Thanks for confirming! If I have any more problems or questions, I guess I'll be back. xD

You should check out the sofa and chat even when you DONT have questions. Be careful tho, it can get a little crazy over there in the sofa.

I am still getting this error:

Fatal! Write Failure: /etc/valiases/mydomain.com. Ignore any messages of success this can only result in failure!

whether I try forwarding to a Yahoo account or one of my Surpass accounts.
