Hi there,
Apologies if this is a little simple, but I can't seem to find much in
the way of "if it doesn't work try this" type documentation. If there is
some, I'm more than happy to RTFM... just show me where the FM is... ;)
Essentially, the problem seems to be that mail sent to a user at the
virtual domain is recieved happily by my mail server, but bounces
because it arrives with the correct username but the 'real' host domain
name. Read on, and all will become clear.
OK.I've created a virtual domain mail.spiderplant.net. (Feel free to use
nslookup to check my MX setup - it should all be OK though, since mail
*does* arrive.) I created the domain using
./vadddomain mail.spiderplant.net
All fine, no errors. Then I did:
./vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] test
Again, everything's fine. A du in ~vpopmail shows everything's created
properly:
[root@bonsai vpopmail]$ du
10 ./etc
483 ./bin
1 ./users
1 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/postmaster/Maildir/cur
1 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/postmaster/Maildir/new
1 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/postmaster/Maildir/tmp
5 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/postmaster/Maildir
6 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/postmaster
1 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/test/Maildir/cur
1 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/test/Maildir/new
1 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/test/Maildir/tmp
5 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/test/Maildir
6 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net/test
19 ./domains/mail.spiderplant.net
20 ./domains
137 ./lib
13 ./include
33 ./doc/man_html
26 ./doc/doc_html
60 ./doc
734 .
Now, upon trying to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get:
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Why is this happening? Is it something to do with the fact that
spiderplant.net is a 'real' domain and mail.spiderplant.net is not? Is
there an issue with the ordering of names in the control files? In fact,
here are my /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts, virtualdomains and locals:
[rcpthosts]
localhost
bonsai.spiderplant.net
spiderplant.net
btclick.com
screaming.net
mail.spiderplant.net
[virtualdomains]
mail.spiderplant.net:mail.spiderplant.net
[locals]
localhost
bonsai.spiderplant.net
spiderplant.net
I believe it's correct for the virtual domain not to be listed in
locals; is this correct?
Finally, the qmail log shows what you'd expect given the mail I
received:

Advice and ideas are *greatly* appreciated...
Many thanks,
Dan
