same here. ..and continued: > qmail-local looks for .qmail-fred in the domain's directory.

In our conversation, we confused ~vpopmail/domains/example.com/username/.qmail with ~vpopmail/domains/example.com/.qmail-user, right ? Is the problem you are describing only username/.qmail instantiated ? There doesnt appear to be any [delivery (1)] problems with my installation of vpopmail, and I have several places where I have vdelivermail in .qmail-default and in .qmail-user files -- but, unless qmailadmin put them there, i have no vdelivermail statements inside any username/.qmail > vstoremail would take care of file locking/naming/etc. and exit with > the proper error code. well, what does the '' do in "|/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/user ? can we put arguments there? something like 'blinddeliver' ? Or, is it worth asking vdelivermail "from what program were you called?" so that It could choose to look up the environment information -- or just blind deliver? Seems like a waste to have a binary to mostly do what vdelivermail does... although several small pieces is the unix way.. otherwise, I like the idea; I would help with the effort, except that I keep using the excuse that I dont know C :( keeping it all together with vpopmail would be good. I realize we could use maildrop, but I would have no other use for maildrop; introducing it as a dependency may be less than desirable. [1] * every now and then a random customer calls complaining that he got a Quota warning message, when his mailbox is virtually empty (0% of 20mB) (although I use the same set of mail servers, and I never have gotten an incorrect warning (i am using maildir++ patch from vpopmail)) * piping stuff to vdelivermail on solaris 2.8 or 2.9 causes core dumps. ------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Kister www.jeremykister.com PGP: http://www.jeremykister.com/jeremy/public_key.asc -------------------------------------------------------
