Re: [qmailadmin] Deactivating double bounces
Hi, another question. I don't understand what /var/qmail/control/doublebouncehost is for. I understand /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto but what host do you have to put in it? Do you have to use both? I think that if doublebouncehost isn't defined, it will use control/me instead. It will send the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ah, thanks. If you deactivate doublebounces the host has no bearing anyway. But can't hurt to know. -- Sascha Ebach Hexatex Holistic-Webdesign Hugo-Junkers-Str. 26 50739 Köln Web: http://www.hexatex.de mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0221 / 5994393Fax: 0221 / 5994394

That doesn't get rid of double bounces, that keeps any mails to invalid accounts from bouncing at all. If you want to just discard double bounces, there are several methods of doing this, one of which Nick told you about, and the other (what I, myself use), Russell Nelson's doublebounce-trim.patch (for qmail). you can find it on qmail.org -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

Re: [qmailadmin] Deactivating double bounces
Hi Nick, If you want to get rid of double bounces server wide, edit /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto /var/qmail/control/doublebouncehost In doublebounceto put like doublebounce Then create an alias for /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-doublebounce with # in it. Thanks for the fast response. It is good to know how to do it server wide, but I am not sure if I want to do that (yet). Is it possible to do it only for a single vpopmail domain? Sascha
