The problem is that you are setting the catchall for example.com to a postmaster address. As you are probably aware, upon creating a domain with vadddomain, there is one e-mail account which is always created and cannot be deleted with qmailadmin: postmaster. What you need to be aware of, is that the catch-all only works for e-mail sent to addresses within a domain that are _NOT_ already defined as forwards or regular accounts. Thus, your setup will always fail as the postmaster account is always there. Yes, but what about: :/var/vpopmail/domains/example.com# cat .qmail-default | /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] :/var/vpopmail/domains/anotherexample.com# cat .qmail-postmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? Email sent directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is nicely forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is caught by the catch-all [EMAIL PROTECTED]) is delivered locally to this Maildir. In our system, postmaster@ is a normal emailaddress which can be used by the customer. You could remedy this by setting the catch-all address of example.com to an non-existant address in example2.com, such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] True, I already knew about this solution but it doesn't fit in our system, because it involves manually adding and editing dot-qmail files (trust me, you don't want to do this for +20.000 virtual domains :-) Someone on the qmail mailinglist answerd: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=qmailm=107824934618016w=2 q Update vpopmail to ver. 5.2.2 and it will magically work, I ran into this last weekend. /q I'll test with vpopmail ver 5.2.2. when this server goes live on March 13, unfortunaly I can't test it sooner. Anyway, thanks for your answer. -- Met vriendelijke groet / Best regards, Jan Reilink, VEVIDA Nederland BV Postbus 329, 9700 AH GRONINGEN, +31(0)50 - 5492234

[vchkpw] strange behaviour in local delivery
Hi list, I hope this is the correct list, I have no idea whether this is a qmail or vpopmail issue. Please direct me to the right list, if I'm wrong here. On our mailserver, qmail 1.03 / vpopmail 5.2.1, we host multiple virtual domains and some customers would like to forward their email- and/or catch-all address to a different domain, but if we host that domain too, the email gets delivered locally (say, it's placed into the directory on file system level instead of going to the queue) and the dot-qmail files aren't read/used. Example: User example.com sets his catch-all address to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so all email (except [EMAIL PROTECTED]) is forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Example2.com has a .qmail-postmaster file which forwards all email for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] What we are experiencing: * All email directly send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * All email send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be caught by the catch-all and is send to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but then it is *not* forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/vpopmail/domains/example.com# cat .qmail-default | /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/vpopmail/domains/example2.com# cat .qmail-default | /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this a known issue, is there a solution? If you need more information about the setup, versions, etc, just let me know. On a small note: This mailserver will be replaced with a new cluster, installed with qmail-1.03 / vpopmail 5.2.2. -- Met vriendelijke groet / Best regards, Jan Reilink, VEVIDA Nederland BV Postbus 329, 9700 AH GRONINGEN, +31(0)50 - 5492234

well, i have this from the source (bigdir.c).
it looks like the maximum of users/domains per directory is 100 (it's

so, i assume, in your case, you have at least 173 different system users

We have only one system user for vpopmail: vpopmail (group: vchkpw) and all

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail : forwarding a catch-all to an external address
Hello Jonas, Jonas Pasche wrote: Hi Jan, I've asked this same question before, but I haven't received an answer/solution yet. The following problem occurs when a catch-all should be forwarded to an external address : The email is only delivered locally to the catch-all account. Where does it actually get delivered, as there isn't a i-am-a-test account in reality? There is no i-am-a-test account. The email gets delivered to the catch-all account (postmaster), which is correct. But when postmaster receives the email, it should be forwarded to the named emailaddresses, and this doesn't happen.

Yes, I thought about this too :) According to the vdelivermail manpage, you have two options: - A (local) directory to deliver the email to - An emailaddress to deliver the email to But I also thought that, when using an emailaddress, it would be forwarded instead of dropped of locally. You can easily fix this by making the catchall address an address that doesnt exist in your vpopmail domain such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then set up .qmail-catchall to do what you want.

[vchkpw] differences mysql user-table in vpopmail versions 4.9.10 and 5.2.1?
[Let's hope this is the correct mailinglist, I'm new here] Unable to find an answer on the Net, I'm trying here. Is there a difference in the mysql user-table between the vpopmail versions 4.9.10 and 5.2.1? We are trying to install a new mailserver running qmail and vpopmail and doing so we tried to copy the database 1 on 1 to the new server. After we did this and tried to telnet to localhost:110 we got a table structure error[1]. We have approx. 10,000 virtual domains with a possible 100,000 users (10 POP accounts per domain), so you can understand our problem :) Did anyone else encounter this problem? If yes, how did you/he/she solve this? I noticed there is a 17 pages Changelog between these versions, so it wouldn't suprise me if there has changed something in the databse :) The domain dsinet.be (my test domain :) is already running on the new mailserver, telnetting to it gives me this: telnet pop.dsinet.be 110 user mynamedsinet.be +OK pass my_pass vmysql: sql error[3]: Unknown column 'pw_clear_passwd' in 'field list' -ERR authorization failed Connection closed by foreign host. Thanks in advance for any pointers/urls/help. -- Best regards, Jan reilink VEVIDA Services
