Hi all

I have installed 
qmail / vpopmail / vqsignup / sqwebmail

I have and account in the dir 

/home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/metta(name of account)

I want to keep a copy in the Maildir of (name-of-account) 
and want to forward a copy of the mail to another account

In my normal qmail accounts I would generate a file 

/home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/metta(name of account)/.qmail
-------------------------
# copy of mail in Maildir
./Maildir/
# copy of mail to metta
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This does not seem to work that way with vpopmail



I actually made a few other changes and ended up with big trouble.

What I did was 
1 created the above .qmail file
2 edited the below .qmail-default file as follows:

/home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/.qmail-default
---------------------------------------------
# comes with this entry by default
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''bounce-no-mailbox

# I added this line which is my local email account.
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and ended up with 7000 emails in my queue within a few min.

I quickly stoped qmail 
deleted the .qmail file 
re-edited the .qmail-default file. 
and spent a few hours cleaning up my mess.<smile>

I must have somehow created a loop in some way.
A bit of help explaining what happened would be much appriciated

best regards
