hi i know its perhaps not the right place to ask this question, but as i haven't got any response on the maildrop list and the problem is also related to vpopmail i hope that i am not the first that has this problem with vpopmail & maildrop.
used versions are: qmail: 1.03 (patched qmailqueue,smtp-auth) vpopmail: 5.3.20 maildrop: 1.5.2 (debian/unstable) if i set the maildrop logging level higher i get the following: 09:18:15 local prog: delivery 2871: deferral: does anybody have an idea what the problem could be? i'm going crazy with this thing :-(( greets KoS ---------- Forwarded message ---------- To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" hi i have the following mailfilter file: VPOP="|/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox" VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] if ( $SIZE < 262144 ) { exception { xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc -f -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]" } } to "$VPOP" exit if the user exists, then everything works fine, if the user doesn't exist, vpopmail does an "failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/" and the mail bounces, but sometims, and i'm not sure when this happens i get an error: " deferral: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/maildrop:_error_writing_to_mailbox./maildrop:_Unable_to_deliver_to_mailbox./" any idea what could be wrong? is it perhaps when the bounced mail gets double bounced? thanks for help greets KoS -- Martin Kos Handy +41-76-384-93-33 http://kos.li/ ICQ# 13556143 Fax +49-89-244-323-681 Say NO to HTML in mail Proudly running Debian GNU/Linux.
