Hi, Run the commands:
#Echo doublebounce >/var/qmail/control/doublebounceto #echo # >/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-doublebounce In this way doublebounces will go to the user doublebounce, who's .qmail file has nothing in it and so the mail will fall into a black hole. I think this is what Tom is getting at.

My problem is tones of doublebounces of spam from forged return and bad addresses. I do not have doublebounceto file under /var/qmail/control/ How do I set it up and what should be in it, to have doublebounces go to that file instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarding them to postmaster? I will create .qmail-doublebounce and put "#" in /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-doublebounce to delete all doublebounces Thanks, Sam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <vchkpw@inter7.com> Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 1:59 AM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail on redhat 7.3 server gets very busy > On Nov 3, 2005, at 7:38 PM, Sam wrote: >> @40000000436ab0a417e5a724 info msg 116176: bytes 2174 from <[EMAIL >> PROTECTED]> qp >> 20947 uid 501 > > Looks like doublebounce messages.
