I believe Jake answered a similar or same question for me, but I can't
seem to find it. I was getting the same bounce messages and his
suggestion solved it. I'll keep looking...
What is the contents of your /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto file? The
default is postmaster
Thanks for your input Jake.
[r...@mail ~]# cat /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto
cat: /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto: No such file or directory
Because there is no file, it correctly sent the double-bounce to
postmaster which was correctly forwarded to
kbus...@northlakechristian.org. My two questions remain:
1. Why did it not forward root email kbus...@northlakechristian.org
I don't know.
That being said, I suspect it might be because that mechanism is
intended for local (host-only) accounts, and QMT uses virtual
domains/accounts. It also might be due to the fact that the
/var/qmail/alias addresses (the part being forwarded from) aren't
qualified by domain. Who knows which domain qmail 'thinks' the account
belongs to? I certainly don't.
2. Does it matter that the original email (root@
mail.northlakechristain.org) and double-bounce (postmaster@
mail.northlakechristian.org) are to the fqdn mail.northlakechristian.org
and not the domain northlakechristian.org. (Spaces added to email to
prevent protection - nice trick Anil)
I expect so.
Have you added mail.northlakechristian.org as an alias domain to
northlakechristian.org ?
This is a problem that I have not been able to resolve for some time. I
have only been given a kludge like add
mailto=kbus...@northlakechristian.org
to /etc/crontab, which works but does not explain why system emails are
not forwarded to my address by:
[r...@mail ~]# cat /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
&kbus...@northlakechristian.org
I wouldn't call it a kludge. It's the way cron is designed to operate. ;)
I think that if you create an aliasdomain for
mail.northlakechristian.org and also create a forward for root using
qmailadmin, that will solve your problem.
It'd be nice to know exactly why the alias/ entries don't work, but I'm
not inclined to waste any time finding the answer when there's a
solution available which works. ;)
