Hi,
Thank you for your reply, what is double bounce?? And in my
/var/qmail/control, I only have defaultdomain, me, locals, rcpthosts,
virtualdomains, ...for those doesn't automatically appear at that directory,
do i just create the appropriate file by myself.?? Or did i do something
wrong in the installation process..so that It doesn't show up
automatically.??
Thank You
mark
