I'm having a problem with a new customer converting from another isp.
This customer is using Ms Mail 3.x? with Nemex Messenger to retrieve all
mail for their domain via pop3 and handle delivery on their end to the
individuals. Thus all mail for the domain needs to be delivered to a
single pop3 account. This situation worked fine under a previous
sendmail setup of their old isp.
I am using qmail 1.0.3 with a rather modified vchkpw virtual domain
package. It works great except for this situation. I setup no user boxes
and left it all to bounce to the postmaster account which the customer
took delivery from. This left 2 issues:
1) Delivered-To: headers wreak havock with their mail delivery via nemex
messenger. It works fine for individuals, however mailing lists with the
list name as the recepient do not get delivered correctly. This may be
an issue for nemex to handle, however since it worked under sendmail
(please, no comments, I need to fix the customer despite which app is
better or correct in usage etc) I need to find a way around it. Nemex
uses a rules sorting to determine which lists go where. Rather sloppy,
but hey, I didnt choose it. I have read the posts regarding removal of
the Delivered-To header..I need a quick temp fix as the customer will be
upgrading to an exchange server and using etrn in 2 months time and this
will no longer be an issue.
2) Mail sent to multiple receptients at the domain is received by qmail,
split up into multiple deliveries (one for each recepient in the
original message) and then all dropped in the same pop3 box, resulting
in each recepient receiving a copy for each receptient at that domain
(they had a mail sent to 41 people at the company today.. 41 copies to
each of the 41 users did not go over to well). I know there must be a
way around this but I'm still rather new to qmail..again, a quick
temporary fix is all I need to get me through 2 or so months.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
