hi, in my fastforwad alias table i got this line: old.address : "| bouncesaying 'This address no longer exists!'" but this does not work always! in my logfile i get this message when a mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] has arrived: Jul 25 16:39:15 km3 qmail: 964535955.164711 delivery 2970: deferral: This_addres s_no_longer_exists!/preline:_fatal:_unable_to_copy_input:_broken_pipe/ it the mail is a short one (aprox. 1K) it is not a problem. could this be a timing problem in qmail? any hints? jodok
