Hi Tim,

open2web is not configured in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains. In fact in an earlier 
post you recommended that I remove:

cat /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mt
&o2w

As "This configuration is for qmail delivering directly to system users."

And then you recommended that an "easier way to handle this is to set up 'mt' in the
users/assign file:"

/var/qmail/users/assign:
+mt:o2w:<o2w_UID>:<o2w_GID>:/home/o2w:::

So that's what I have done.

There was no mention of putting open2web in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains. 

Here is another quote from your previous post:

"From now on, all mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be delivered to the o2w
system user and qmail will use the .qmail and .qmail-default files for
delivery instructions.  No forwarding is necessary.  The single line
in the users/assign file handles both the base address, "mt", and all
extension addresses, "mt-*"."

"This is much easier than forwarding, inserting headers, setting
RECIPIENT_HEADER in the config file and so forth.  None of that is
necessary if you use the users/assign file."

Then in my last post I admit I got a bit mixed up about "bounce" and "double bounce" 
and "BOUNCE_ENV_ADDRESS" (which I now know doesn't exist) and "BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER".

The question remains, though, that I never really dealt with [EMAIL PROTECTED], which, 
as far as I understand, is supposed to 

What I was trying to understand in this present thread has to do with Jim Ramsay's 
post:

"I drop all mail incoming to my BOUNCE_ENV_ADDRESS as it is only ever 
generated if the original incoming mail used a bad envelope sender 
(implying spam), in which case I don't want to see either the original 
message or the bounce notice."

BOUNCE_ENV_ADDRESS should, of course be, BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER

I responded by posting the following:

BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]

cat /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-nobody
#

cat ~/.qmail-nobody 
#

cat ~/.qmail-o2w-nobody
#

Then you tell me that my "BOUNCE_ENV_SENDER is set properly if you wish to ignore 
these.  However,
you're ignoring them in the wrong place (/var/qmail/alias).

So what I did is:

rm /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-nobody

I thought I should create

+nobody:o2w:<o2w_UID>:<o2w_GID>:/home/o2w:::

Which points to:

cat ~/.qmail-nobody 
#

cat ~/.qmail-o2w-nobody
#

And gets dumped in the process. 

I admit I haven't inserted "+nobody:o2w:<o2w_UID>:<o2w_GID>:/home/o2w:::" into the 
assign file because I first wanted to verify with you.

I hope my explanation isn't too convoluted.

Thanks,

Mark
