You're subscribed as [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is a local address. It
locally translates to lindes-daveltd.d/com/q-lindes=daveltd.com. It
seems to me it shouldn't be translating it because translating the
local part without changing the host part to a local host (as opposed
to a virtual host) often makes it an invalid address.
qmail-send is the program that rewrites foo-return-@host-@[] to
foo-return-recip=domain@host. qmail-send is also the program that
translates the address according to the rules in virtualdomains.
It sounds to me like there's an order of operations error here.
If your address -were- to start bouncing, I don't think ezmlm would know
because the bounce will be coming back with an invalid address embedded
in the envelope. That doesn't seem right.
After a quick glance at qmail-send.c, it's not immediately obvious how
to change the order of operations.
Cheers,
Vern
