If the "contact" tells mails are bouncing the bounce could be delivered to the original sender (or whatever is pretended to be the "sender"). The "bounces" you're seeing in your postmaster's inbox are: doublebounces. Bounces that could not be delivered. If you want get rid of them: echo 'doublebounce' >/var/qmail/control/doublebounceto echo '#' >/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-doublebounce and restart qmail-send (e.g. 'svc -t /service/qmail-send'). This assumes: you have the value of '/var/qmail/control/me' in '/var/qmail/control/locals' and the user 'doublebounce' is non-existant on your system. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther It's even worse than that!
