Hi,
The command
#Echo doublebounce >/var/qmail/control/doublebounceto
worked.
As for the second command
#echo # >/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-doublebounce
Nothing happened. I do not know why, but I installed it
using
#touch .qmail-doublebounce
then I put"#" and saved.
It is working now.
Thank you All.
Sam

Hi,
Run the commands:
#Echo doublebounce >/var/qmail/control/doublebounceto
#echo # >/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-doublebounce
In this way doublebounces will go to the user doublebounce, who's .qmail
file has nothing in it and so the mail will fall into a black hole.
I think this is what Tom is getting at.
Andrew.

Tom you hit it right.
My problem is tones of doublebounces of spam from forged return and bad
addresses.
I do not have doublebounceto file under
/var/qmail/control/
How do I set it up and what should be in it,
to have doublebounces go to that file instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
forwarding them to postmaster?
I will create .qmail-doublebounce and put "#" in
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-doublebounce
to delete all doublebounces
Thanks,
Sam

Looks like doublebounce messages. What do you have in
/var/qmail/control/doublebounceto?
I've set my server to have "doublebounce" in that file, and then put "#"
in /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-doublebounce. That way doublebounces are just
deleted -- 99.9% of them are crap and not worth looking at (e.g., spam
from forged return addresses).
