Forward causes mail to go into Infinite loop
I have a virtual domain called xyz.com and a pop account called sales . I have installed vpopmail + qmailadmin . In qmail admin I can login as the user sales and create a redirect for my pop account. This would create a .qmail file with the email address that I choose to forward all mails coming to this POP Account. The Problem arises when i choose my redirect as the same as my POP Mail Address. i.e. the contents of my /home/vpopmail/domains/xyz.com/sales/.qmail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] , then all mail coming to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will go in an infinite loop. This will keep adding to the disk space usage and make the disk completely full. this happened to one of my servers - a small text mail managed to cover up 16gb of HDD space all in /var/qmail/queue/mess dir in just one night. How do i make sure that the email is cleaned up if it forwards to itself and not go into an infinite loop??? Divyank

maildrop & vdelivermail - top level filtering
I have successfuly employed maildrop for mail filtering with the latest dev relase of vpopmail. yay. However, it still remains a mystery to me how to filter mail for a domain at the TOP LEVEL, without being forced to use maildrop as the delivery agent for the entire domain. I would like to see it work like this: (domain)(user) (deliver, or filter if user configures it) qmail-smtp -> maildrop -> vdelivermail -> maildrop -> /Maildir/ maildrop doesn't know about .qmail aliases, so if I use maildrop to deliver mail from the domain level they are totally ignored at the user level. i.e., once I use maildrop, I have to use it to drop the mail somewhere, it seems. I have tried passing the mail on to vdelivermail from the maildrop filter, with something like this: to "|/var/nfsmnt/mailroot/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox" but that causes a "delivery 732: failure: lseek_error_29/lseek_errno=29/" So, my question is, is it possible to filter mail with maildrop at the top level of a domain, and continue to use vdelivermail to handle the actually mail delivery, possibly invoking maildrop again at the user level? If so, how? Stephen Palmer -=- Reichert root@ Gearbox Software Micah 6:8 "He has showed you, oh man, what is good ... "
Slow to connect
My vpopmail server is very slow to connect right now. I have customers calling the office & bitching & I can see it when I try to check my mail. Unfortunately, I'm clueless as to how to troubleshoot it, much less fix it. Using ssh to connect to the box works instantly. Telnetting to port 110 from my box at home shows where the delay is: - yabox# telnet athena.interdyne.net 110 Trying 64.124.170.170... Connected to athena.interdyne.net. Escape character is '^]'. user [EMAIL PROTECTED] #It sits there for ~60 seconds, then proceeds normally. pass +OK list +OK . quit +OK Connection closed by foreign host. - My log tells me nothing; lots of messages went through for local (virtual) domains and for remote (secondary MX) domains, some messages did not go through for remote domains due to transient failures, but nothing to indicate why authentication should take so long. Top/ps showed between 1 & 10 instances of tcpserver -H -R 0 110... running while the problem was going on. I'm stumped here. This has happened twice before, but both other times the logs told me that a message was rejected for a secondary domain due to size restrictions. Even assuming that that was the problem today, I don't know what to do about it, since the databytes control file doesn't do anything until a message has been written to disk. Can anyone point me to better troubleshooting methods or an explanation for what's happening? Thanks, -Kit

Re: Forward causes mail to go into Infinite loop
I'm not sure if there is anything to fix or solve. When a mail is delivered to the account, the mail will be stamped with a Delivered-To: tag. That way qmail knows that the mail is looped, and will bounce the mail. I see from the ChangLog that vdelivermail supports Delivered-To back to at least 3.4.11-2, so this is supported in 4.9.10. Remove the forwarding or .qmail file in /home/vpopmail/domains/xyz.com/sales/, send [EMAIL PROTECTED] a mail. Check the heading for this: Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If it's not there on top of the heading, there is something wrong. If it's there, no way that the mail is looping. NB! I'm using extra scripts delivering mail directly to subfolders with help from maildirdeliver. This piece of software does not add the Delivered-To line to the mailheader, so in front of this program I have to use preline -f like this: |preline -f maildirdeliver /home/vpopmail/domains/bordewich.net/postmaster/Maildir/ to get the Delivered-To added. PS! I prefer replies to the list, not directly to my address.

Question aboout .qmail-default
Hey List- This isn't exactly vpopmail related, but sorta :) I had this working awhile back, rebuilt my box and now I can't get it to work again. "It" is explained below. OS: FreeBSD 4.3 Qmail: 1.03 VPOPMAIL: 4.10.32 Courir: 1.3.9 Problem: I can't get mail rerouted to another mailbox using the .qmail-default Example: I added a domain, domain.com I added a [EMAIL PROTECTED] I added a .qmail-junk (which I want to bounce) I added a .qmail-default with: | /usr/local/qmail/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail "" [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I do this, vdelivermail segfaults and spits out a core dump. If I just throw an email address in there: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail doesn't get delivered at all to any of the above users. If I send an email to junk it bounces correctly. If I send an email to test it get's delivered, if send an email to crap it segfaults. Any ideas? Thanks list! Henrik
UPDATE: Re: Question aboout .qmail-default
Hello List- I figured it out, but I think it may be a "bug" or the docs are a little outdated??? or I read them wrong..wouldn't be the first time. I have my domain.com directory and then I have: .qmail-junk -> | /path/to/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mail which works and then: .qmail-default -> &[EMAIL PROTECTED] If I remove the & it doesn't work. The docs state that you can remove the & if the first char is a letter or number? Also, doing: .qmail-default: | /path/to/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] or .qmail-default: | /path/to/vdelivermail '' &[EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't work either. The first one segfaults and the second says bad syntax in the logs. Now according to the docs the first one should work, shouldn't it? Thanks for all the help!
