I responded to this thread immediately, but it's taken me until now, pestering mail-abuse.com and my isp, to get the IP address of my mailserver off the mail-abuse.com dul database, where it was erroneously dropped. An interesting, if annoying, denial of service.

Still hoping that someone can help.

You've been using Postfix long enough to include 'postconf -n' and the other

Fair point. I'd hoped it was easier than that. See below.


The bounce is sensible; you add a Delivered-To: header before the mail is actually delivered by the appropriate delivery agent, which by design bounces mail that is destined for f...@bar.org when f...@bar.org already appears in the
Delivered-To:.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough about this. With no D flag, there's no Delivered-To: at all. With the D flag it gets bounced. Therefore is D flag creating >1 Delivered-To: ? Or I'm not looking at the right thing (grep on file in Cyrus IMAP directory.


The header was not 'removed'; for example, local(8) and virtual(8) still add
the header when delivering mail to intended recipients.

There's no particular reason for trying to generate the Delivered- To: header through the callout to the content filter, but it seemed an easy
place to plug it in.

It is a bad place to plug it in given the way loop detection works.
Ok. So where's a good place? Maybe a moot point if it's actually being put in but I cannot see it.


Show 'postconf -n', some log output of the bounce, and the rest of master.cf.
