This is not a dbmail error, if qmail was passing the message to dbmail,
dbmail-smtp with
bounce back to the addr specified in %etc/dbmail.conf. I suppose clearly that`s
the case.
I recommend postfix for now, it`s _the_ best solution with dbmail, easy and
compact.
I`m like qmail, so i`m trying to merge the stuff, but in the meanwhile i use
{and prefer}
postfix.

Quite true. Let me try to overview this - squirrel passes the message to the
smtp/sendmail/blahblah and the smtp delivers it without having to check if your
mailbox/user actually exist. Just to make sure i`m right, try sending a message
to a
different account on the dbmail server. let say if your account on the dbmail
server is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] try to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and let us know what`s happening.
Please notify me if I misunderstood you in any way.

Btw why dont you try weDBmail, i strongly recommend it, it`ll save you time and
it`ll be
quicker, since it has a native support for dbmail webmail <-> mysql, where
AFAIK sq does
webmail <-> (imap server <-> mysql).
