I changed to Mercury 4.80 on Jan 29 of this year. Since changing, I am having intermittent issues with aliases going to Filter: These aliases have been working for the past 3 years without issue.
The aliases that are failing have a couple of common attributes: 1. they all start with vm_, and 2. they all use Filter: Some aliases setup with vm_*@mydomain.com have been working without issue, and others are failing intermittently.
For example, vm_absence@mydomain.com is set to "Filter:C:\Mercury\Filters\vmabs.RUL" (without quotes). Today, when sending to that alias, the message fails and Mercury shows:
* Recipient vm_absence@mydomain.com unknown
(In the examples, I'm not using my real alias names and domain names, for obvious reasons...)
Some of these aliases were "fixed" by deleting the alias and re-creating them. I did that with this alias 2 days ago. It was working yesterday, and it failed again this morning. I was able to make this one work (for now, anyway); I changed the alias name to vmabsence@mydomain.com and created a second alias for vm_absence@mydomain.com pointing to vmabsence@mydomain.com.
Any ideas why the erratic alias/Filter: behavior in 4.80?
