I'm just a tad confused by some of the details of what you are saying, but let me try to find out if you are trying to do the same thing I have wanted to do... The "presenting" problem is that as things are, all the bounced-bounce messages come to the postmaster account at the server domain (i.e. to me). I would like bounced-bounce messages to go to the postmaster at the domain that rejected the message (which will only SOMETIMES be me). I was told by inter7 consultants (6 months ago) that without writing some code Qmail will not let you specify on a per domain basis who the bounced bounce message gets sent to. I responded that it was really the bounce message that was causing the problem because it was addressed as from the postmaster at the server domain instead of the postmaster of the domain that could not receive the message. In spite of this they only offered this option: > you could write yourself a script that would be called > from /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster that could parse where the > bounce came from and put it into the correct postmaster's mailbox.

It does seem to me to be a deficiency in qmail+vpopmail that the bounce message is not sent from the correct domain. Do others agree? Kurt Bigler
