hi all I am a newbie in qmail. I install qmail and vpopmail.I can send and recevice mails. it looks work fine. but if I try to send a mail to a nonexistent mail account, the problem comes. this problem bother me about 2 weeks. if you know the root cause, would you please tell me what is problem. your suggestion a great favor to me. thanks very much.
I need to create a new account if the mail account does not exist. that is the special requirements for me, if the mail account do not exist, I will use .qmail-default to create an email account, and then inject the mail to the new account. it work well if I do not use vpopmail. but I want to use virtual account. some information about my software envionment: 1.My domain name is test.com(in internal network) 2.the content of file /var/qmail/user/assign +test.com-:test.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com:-:: . 3. then content of file /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/.qmail-default | /home/webmail/add-qmail-account.sh "$DEFAULT" "$SENDER" && qmail-inject "$DEFAULT" add-qmail-account.sh is a script to add a mail account I know it never be called from the maillog. but if I do not use vpopmail, it will be called without any problem. 4. I replace /var/qmail/bin/qmail-local with /home/vpopmail/bin/vqmaillocal(by following the installation docs) if I do not replace, .qmail-default can work, but I can not recevie any mail. after I install vpopmail, I try to send a mail to an nonexist account like this echo "req and to do list" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s "requirements and todo list" then qmail complains "message_is_looping_/mail_is_looping" the following is the detail of the maillog.
