I seem to be having a problem where the mail server is attepting to deliver to a local account even though vpopmail is up and running. Just to explain the situation:
I have a mail server running vpop+qmail+mysql. Presently we have 20 domains serving from this configuration just fine with only one problem domain. I can see by the machine IPs that the mail is being routed through DNS to the proper place and I can send emails to an from this domain in question without a problem. It is when I check the postmaster mail for the server that I find hundreds of bounces per hour for this domain and these are reported to me only because they are SPAM and the bounce message sent to the sender is bouncing back to the postmaster account. > mail.local: unknown name: xxxxx > 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown What I am wondering is how much mail might not be reported back to the postmaster but is still failing. The customer in this case has reported that they have had problems with their contacts saying the mail is bouncing but I have not gotten a bounce message from him on these reports so the SPAM is what I am working from at the present time. Once again, I can see that the mail is being routed to the proper location by virtue of the IP addresses represented in the message dialouge. Has anyone seen behavior such as this before? I am at a bit of a loss as to what might be happening. Thanks, Ben
