OK. And what if there is not a .qmail- for each user???

You mentioned, IIRC, that you are using vpopmail. What is in the
.qmail-default file for the domain in question?

RE: Duplicate messages.
The .qmail-default contains the following.
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/vpopmail/domains/d-vision.com/andy
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/vpopmail/domains/d-vision.com/randy
We want it to go to both users. And we have several other domains that are
setup the same way. I'm not sure why this one would be unique in that
circumstance. Since I've created the .qmail- files for each user we have
not received any duplicate messages. So I think that fixed the problem.
But I really don't like that fix.

This is wrong. vdelivermail will deliver to *all* header recipients, every
time it's invoked.
You'd be better off making an alias, say [EMAIL PROTECTED], that
points to both of the andy and randy mailboxes. Then, set up the
.qmail-default file to read:
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And watch the magic work... :)

Re: duplicate messages RESOLVED
Hi all, Thanks for your responses. I still don't know how duplication actually occurs ;( but the problem went away :) . I RTFM a littly more thoroughly - qmail-inject (I'm sorry I didn't do that more earlier.) man qmail-inject, quoted, about the 6th line from the top: "DESCRIPTION qmail-inject reads a mail message from its standard input..." duh! (*blush*blush*cough*cough*) So instead of my old line in that perl script: $sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t'; I rewrote that to point to qmail-inject: $sendmail = '/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject'; and yes! No more dups. Now I could create about 1 trash accounts and do my ball-park figure stress test :). Hope this resolves someone elses PERL/duplicate agenda. Thanks again, jamie - inching my way up the qmail mountain :) ps the way qmail does things (and of course the various packages related to qmail which I came across) is indeed very interesting. #-#-#-#-#-#-#-# -- If somebody can help create a search engine for my room, I will call them a Saint...

I don't think I have the answer to your problem, but one thing you should be aware of is that qmail does not try to remove duplicate addresses the way sendmail does.
RE: Duplicate messages.
"Patrick, Robert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes: http://www.qmail.org/eliminate-dups . Does this tool work on both Mailbox and ./Maildir user mail storage mechanisms? It works with all forms of delivery. You just specify the name of a file that will contain a database of message hashes. If the current message matches one in the database, eliminate-dups returns exit code 99, which causes qmail-local to ignore further delivery instructions in the .qmail file. E.g.: | eliminate-dups inbox ./Maildir/ keeps a database in "inbox" for a maildir mailbox called "Maildir". If the message is a duplicate, the Maildir delivery won't happen. The entries following the "| eliminate-dups" line can be anything qmail-local supports: maildirs, mboxes, programs, or forwards. -Dave

Re: Duplicate messages.
I have sendmail working on my system but qmail wont work. Could you possibly tell me why. When I do a ./config , the name of the machine is not a fully qualified domain name but the sendmail works on that. Can anyone tell how and what to configure for this?
