Ok, thought that dbmail-smtp handeled that automaticly using the sendmail
binary and created its own bounce...
My MTA anyway is QMAIL and I ended up creating the following script to have
qmail do the boucing...
Maybe something for the contrib dir?
Instead of adding the "|/usr/local/sbin/dbmail ${RECIPIENT:7}" thing in
.qmail-default point to this script instead and fix the paths...
Would be nice tho to have a C program that does the checking... since this
doesn't check if theres a user with that name but only real email addresses,
but it's a start anyways for others wanting this.
I have no idea if the error code that it returns (112) is correct... but "it
works for me" (tm)
---------------- Cut from here ----------------------
#!/bin/sh
#Get config from dbmail configfile...
. /etc/dbmail.conf &>/dev/null
RECIPIENT_USER=`echo ${RECIPIENT:7} | cut -d@ -f1 | tr A-Z a-z`;
RECIPIENT_HOST=`echo ${RECIPIENT:7} | cut -d@ -f2 | tr A-Z a-z`;
QURERY=`/usr/bin/mysql -u${user} -p${pass} -D${db} \
--exec="select alias_idnr from ${table_prefix}aliases where
lower(alias)='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' or lower(alias)='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'"`;
echo "Checking: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Result: ${QUERY}" >> test.log;
if [ -z "${QURERY}" ]; then
#Query returned nothing... no mailbox found...
echo "Sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1)";
exit 112;
else
#Email address is OK... continue
cat <&0 | /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
exit 0
fi;

A faq.
If you require support debugging your setup, please describe your setup
(platform, database engine, mta, etc) and more importantly include level=5 logs.
Also please don't run 2.1.3, but update to svn-trunk. That will fix several
problems in imap and pop present in 2.1.3. [I'm determined to finish the
search/sort rewrite before releasing 2.1.4, grrrr.]
That said, imo bouncing is best done in the mta, not in dbmail. Still, dbmail
*can* provide reliable delivery-status-notifation, but *only* in lmtp based
delivery, and not in dbmail-smtp. They share the same code, but pipe based
delivery has no mechanism for letting the mta know about failed delivery.
If you need to use pipe based delivery (dbmail-smtp), it's best to let the mta
query dbmail for valid addresses and let the mta worry about bounce generation.
In your case, I suspect delivery was successfull, hence the lack of bounce
generation. But I'm just blowing wind here without seeing the logs.
