My quick guess: .qmail-bob-clamav is a blank file, when you really want a single line with # and nothing else. Blank files are ignored; a file with a comment will be treated like delete. If you want to go even further, take a look at the bouncesaying program that's a part of qmail. You can use it to bounce messages for a particular address with a message of your choice. - -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vpopmail - virtual domains for qmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ QmailAdmin - web interface for Vpopmail: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iD8DBQFHAyzLve7eT9VwhJURAqbSAJ9+ec4cQbhWgqc8pzq9hf+c6gXxFQCeJtj3 httVt1yz3q31XBSK/Rmmjmg= =3+dY -END PGP SIGNATURE-

The ONLY place you should EVER call vdelivermail is from the .qmail-default file of a vpopmail based virtual domain. Updated documentation should probably be added to the list for version 6. Rick

Awesome, thanks for spotting this for me. I didn't know how vdelivermail worked, and since my default option was to delete mail I figured the same syntax would work for my situation, so I just copied the .qmail-default file. No more spam! Thank you! Andy.
[vchkpw] vpopmail or qmail problem?
Hey, I'm running netqmail-1.05 and vpopmail-5.4.16 on Gentoo, but I don't believe this Gentoo specific (if it is, apologies in advance). My problem is that for one of my domains I can't seem to get qmail to follow the right .qmail file. I have an account, e.g. bob, which is located in /home/vpopmail/domains/example.org/bob and I setup a .qmail-bob-default in /home/vpopmail/domains/example.org which delivers to the bob account. This lets me use any email address in the format [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it will all end up in the same account. Its perfect for one-time email addresses you need to see or emails that might get spammed (like mailing lists). So I setup one such address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (clamav mailing list) and soon enough it started to get spam to it, so I thought i'd ditch it. Here's my problem, if I setup .qmail-bob-clamav (which will delete emails) qmail doesn't use it, it still uses .qmail-bob-default (so I still get the spam). Am I missing something obvious? I always thought -default was checked last and I can't see why its not using the exact match on .qmail-bob-clamav At first I thought it was because valias was enabled and it was using aliases/forwards in mysql, but I disabled that option and it hasn't made a difference. I've even ditched mysql options completely and it still doesn't work. Thanks in advance. Andy.
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail or qmail problem?
Am I missing something obvious? I always thought -default was checked last and I can't see why its not using the exact match on .qmail-bob-clamav There was some discussion of enabling such support in vpopmail. If you look in your assign file, you will find that your address will become domain-bob and qmail-local will be told to look for dot files in /home/vpopmail/domains/domain. You are missing the effect of the virtual domains in qmail and vpopmail's assign entries.

I believe that is the one yes so it appears I have the details wrong and mixed up what is wrong with Andy's setup :-P
