Either that or I'm still waking up (or both.) This is what the Unix philosophy is all about -- you glue your tools together to do what you want. QUEUE_EXTRA lets you keep copies of all mail; you then use grep (or whatever filter you want) to decide what to record. You want to only keep a record of the fifth word of the second paragraph of each email you receive, except if the character set is Hungarian? You can do that, easily, but it would be silly to expect qmail to have code to deal with that possibility. Agreed... that's why I tweaked qmail-scanner. It scans every email anyway, so with a teensy bit of Perl tinkering, I changed the local copy to check the To and From headers against a db file for instances of the particular username and send a copy to a different address if found. I guess you could say the filter I'm using is Perl... Anyway, I've got a chunk o code that does what I think it is you're asking about, so if you want to check it out, let me know.

The part that sucks is the hordes of email notices to the list about the virus from every anti-viral program on the list.

Doh! does qmail still have my messages?
Howdy folks, Here's the deal I installed vpopmail about halfway yesterday, just enough to break mail delivery. vpopmail took over diligence.com as a virtual domain with no users, and started bouncing messages... Does anyone know a way to get those bounced messages back here? I've got local delivery working again, which is half a blessing, but my concern is the email sent to us between the time I broke it and now. Are they floating in a local queue somewhere? Are they sitting on the various sender's mail servers waiting to come in? Are they simply gone, in which case I should probably email everyone I can think of and ask them to send anything they sent from yesterday afternoon onward? Advice, counseling, flames, notes in the form of "Jer, you're an idiot" are welcome... I hope they will just automagically find their way back here...but I have a suspicion that this hope is in vain.

I keep my "patched" source in a directory structure in anticipation of the next added feature that my boss asks for. I'm comfortable that I won't have to recompile from the top, adding every slice of "improvement" to my qmail all over again. I think it's a great resource, and since I've never said it before, thanks for hosting it and keeping it alive over there. I only go there when I need it, btu when I do I'm grateful that it's there. I never got the implication that qmail was somehow flawed because there were all these "patches" to the code. Rather I enjoyed the fact that I had downloaded and installed a fundamental email server to which I could add the functionality I needed and nothing more. If you do remove the patch section (please don't) then please send out a warning so I can download local safe copies of every patch against the day when I might need them. I say, keep the status quo.

If so, did you test your own domain? I just tested your domain (after creating a much needed account of my own there) and it resulted in a false positive, the same false positive I got when I tested my own mail server. The test that failed was #6, which tests an email sent from :[EMAIL PROTECTED] to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] While qmail accepts initially any mail destined for (in your case) oceania.net, the email will fail to be sent when qmail finds out that there's no user by the name "jlynde%diligence.com" at your domain. If there was, I would have gotten the mail in my mailbox, which I didn't. Check your logs, and you will see the activity from the test in there, and you will also get the double-bounce, signifying the failure of the email. In other words, relax... you're not relaying... have a refreshing drink and breathe deeply cuz it's all good. Jer
