Wouldn't that cause two copies of the message to appear in the mailbox
when the forwarding fails?
CC "./Maildir/"
exception {
TO "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
}
If the TO command fails, execution will drop below the exception
block. Since there has not been a successful delivery instruction,
Maildrop will deliver to the mailbox again by default.
To avoid this problem, you would need something like this to
explicitly end delivery if the forwarding fails.
CC "./Maildir/"
exception {
TO "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
}
EXITCODE = 0
exit
Or am I missing something?
Of course, as I understand it, the TO command as a forward to an email
address should not fail as long as the mail server is working properly
and the message is not rejected by a courierfilter. It would simply
be accepted as a new message into the queue and then a DSN would be
generated if it could not be delivered. The only exception I can
think of is if you are trying to deliver to an unknown user in a local
domain.
