Hi

You may remember that I posted the following problem to this list some 
time ago:

We didn't solve it then, but today I had an enlightenment :-) and I
found out that the solution is very easy. I'm writing it here in case
anyone else has this problem in the future. (Are these lists archived
somewhere?)

The thing is that I had the listar_aliases director as the last
director, so the director that delivers to user mailboxes was before
it, and the mail to listar went to the mailbox! The solution of course 
was to move the listar_aliases director right after the system_aliases 
one, so it gets processed before the localuser director. That's all.

Thanks for a great program! Listar is a very fine piece of software,
if still a bit undocumented. :-)
