Debbie, I have a RaQ2, not a RaQ3, so there could be a difference, but let's
look a little deeper.  I typed "cat /etc/virtusertable | grep befriend" to
find all the records for my main site (see below).  The first 3 records are
email addresses and the associated usernames.  The 4th record makes it so I
can get email at @befriend.com.  The 5th record causes
webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx to be an invalid address.  I did this b/c several
months ago I was getting several thousand emails at this address due to a
spammer.  The final record makes it so emails sent to any address
@befriend.com other than those listed go to the user swerby2.  It's
definitely working on my system b/c the address I use on the list is steven@
and it's getting to swerby2.

swerby2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     swerby2
tmolis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     tmolis
aaron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     aaron
@befriend.com       %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx      error:nouser
@www.befriend.com       swerby2

Report back the results of "cat /etc/virtusertable | grep beautytech (or
other domain name)" so we can help solve your problem.
