Greetings,
I've used qmail for a long time now, and this is the first time I can
remember that anything has gone seriously wrong.
Debian GNU/Linux Potato, qmail 1.03 built and installed from the Debian
qmail-src package.
In my /var/qmail/alias directory I have a .qmail file called
.qmail-webmaster. It is supposed to correspond to our
[EMAIL PROTECTED] address. The file has two addresses in it,
correctly formatted.
Sometime in the last 4 weeks mail stopped being delivered to both
addresses. This is a Bad Thing, because while I am on the list, it's
only to monitor what comes through. I'm the only person that is getting
messages for this address, the person who is supposed to respond is not.
Here's what I know:
1. All addresses, which are all local, BTW, can receive mail normally.
2. An identical alias file with a different name in the /var/qmail/alias
directory works fine.
3. There is no 'webmaster' user at all on the system (thus ruling out
the possibility of an errant .qmail file existing in a home directory).
4. There is nothing specific to the webmaster user in my .qmail file.
5. There are no files in the qmail queue directory structure. (e.g.
there are no outstanding messages in the queue that are 'stuck' for some
reason).
6. If I remove the .qmail-webmaster file altogether, mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does not bounce. It still comes to me.
7. Bouncing mail works fine. I can send email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and it bounces.
8. Stopping and restarting all qmail components does not fix the
problem.
I don't know where this 'webmaster' user/address is coming from.
This has got to be something stupid and simple. The syslog is no
help--it just shows one delivery to me. How else can I figure out what
is shipping this mail to me and ignoring the webmaster alias file?
Here's headers if it helps.
