Yeah, I was trying to describe that unfortunately I can't use qmail's standard forwarding system with QUEUE_EXTRA, because the forwarded message passes through the queue, and is then duplicated again back to the log account. This creates an infinite loop of emails that crushes the server pretty quickly. I need a way to deliver the email to the box in question without going back through qmail-queue. I was hoping to use vdelivermail to provide that path.

Try using this syntax &[EMAIL PROTECTED] |/usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] .qmail supports a standard forwarding Ken Jones
