Re: [vchkpw] duplicate email being received
Check for an alias list that contains multiple paths to Maildirs where one (or more) of the Maildirs(accounts) do not exist. qmail-local see's the missing Maildir as a temporary error, stops delivery to the list and schedules it for delivery again. And it will run into the same time on each subsequent delivery. THis has the result of deliverying "multiple copies" to the first users in the alias list. Instead, use forwards inside a list instead of paths to the Maildir Ken Jones On Friday 06 September 2002 01:05 pm, Krista Smith wrote: > I seem to be having difficulties accessing the archives so I apologize if > this has been a recent thread. > > -vpopmail 5.3.6- > > I've had virtual domains on a new server for several months.

If more than one person is assigned to an alias, and then one of those people is removed, something similar to what you explained will happen. Dan
RE: [vchkpw] duplicate email being received
My fault, I didn't mention that I already checked if there were any aliases or mailing lists involved. It was the only idea I had. :) There are none created on the domain at all. > -Original Message- > From: Ken Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 12:04 PM > To: Krista Smith; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Re: [vchkpw] duplicate email being received > > > > Check for an alias list that contains multiple paths to Maildirs > where one (or more) of the Maildirs(accounts) do not exist. > > qmail-local see's the missing Maildir as a temporary error, stops > delivery to the list and schedules it for delivery again.

RE: [vchkpw] duplicate email being received
Hi all, I've heard from people saying they've got the same issue but haven't had any more responses with ideas. I'm getting desperate since more and more customers are beginning to see this. I don't understand why it would begin happening after running smoothly for several months and why it's only one user for some domains, and multiple users for others. Aliases don't seem to be the problem since the first domain that ran into this didn't have a single alias or mailing list defined. I'm apparently not the only one seeing this so hopefully someone has run into it before and can help...??

RE: [vchkpw] duplicate email being received
I've had the same issue, however removing the account and adding it again worked for me. I only had it with duplicate usernames on different domains. No idea how it happened.

RE: [vchkpw] duplicate email being received
Hi Krista, I had this issue time ago, and I don't really know how it was fixed, I think the problem disappeared all of a sudden. Now, when I was looking for a solution to this problem I found a program called ELIMINATE DUPS at www.qmail.org It might help you.

RE: [vchkpw] duplicate email being received
Some of my customers are telling me it seems to be slowing down. Some are getting fewer duplicates and less often. But I'll have a look at this script and see if I can incorporate it.
