I don't think this is true.
control/virtualdomains lists ``ais.cx:ais.cx'' and users/assign lists
``+ais.cx-:ais.cx:503:503:/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/ais.cx:-::''. I take
this to mean that if no .qmail-<user> file exists, it will try to deliver to
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/ais.cx/<user>/Maildir/ (as per my default
delivery of ./Maildir/).
In other words, it's trying to deliver to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This gets rewritten to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as per the virtualdomains file.
assign says that mail to ais.cx-* should be delivered using the home
directory of /usr/local/vpopmail/domains/ais.cx.
``pcg'' is the extension, so qmail checks for, in order:
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/ais.cx/.qmail-pcg
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/ais.cx/.qmail-default
What I'm not sure of is when it attempts delivery to
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/ais.cx/pcg/Maildir/. I don't really see in the
docs where it *should*, but it does...
*later*
Well, I think I've solved it, at least temporarily. If I use vdelivermail
*everywhere* (including for remote addresses) it works. I now have:
.qmail-u1:
| /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
.qmail-default:
| /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' u2
| /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' u3
.qmail-info (symlink to .qmail-default)
It only delivers mail once per recipient.
I'm going to continue looking into this, because it's still producing a
vpopmail error/warning:
POP_user_does_not_exist,_but_will_deliver_to_u2
for *every* user. :(
Thanks for all the help!
