Read the details on the OS 4.0 update.
Warning:

To address the problem of mail not returning an error correctly for a
virtual site if that user did not exist, a 'catch-all' error is now created.
This required the following changes for this new functionality to work.

system users (such as admin, sys, postmaster, root) for a virtual site are
now directed to the cooresponding email account for the system user. Please
remove all other aliases for the above users on virtual sites before
installing this update
'catch-all' email aliases added manually before the update will not function
in the same way after the update. Please remove all email domain aliases
before installing this update.

Thanks for that ... still is a pain in the B though!

I am a small ISP and a lot of our customers use admin as an email alias. We
always have a 'catchall' for each domain, so have to manually hack the
virtusertable after adding a new site :( ..

I would still like to be able to comment out the bit of code that adds the
admin and postmaster settings. Anybody know which script and line (RAQ3)?
