That is indeed 'normal' behavior. Any mail addressed to
"[email protected]" is delivered to "[email protected]". See "man
dot-qmail", "EXTENSION ADDRESSES" section for an explaination.

Hi Again
Unfortunately the user currently experiencing the problem has deleted the
suspect emails so I am unable to check the header information.
I've looked in the vpopmail database and to be completely honest it all looks
in order.
I do have one additional piece of information, some output from the smtp log:
CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from <[email protected]::> remote
<mail.sendingdomain.com:unknown:172.17.100.1> rcpt <[email protected]> :
found existing recipient
[email protected] does not exist on my server! But as mentioned
previously the user [email protected] is receiving the mail.
I did read something on google about email addresses with hyphens in having the
hyphen and the following address portion stripped out? I don't know if im on
the right track or not...

There's not a whole lot to it IIRC, although it's not exactly normalized.
Wait a second though. When you say things are mis-delivered, something
just occurred to me. Have you checked the message headers of those
alleged mis-deliveries? I've seen cases (spam mostly) where a message
appears to be addressed to one person but is in fact delivered to
another. That's because there are two different To: addresses in an
email message, one one the envelope (which is what's used for delivery),
and another on the contents (the message itself, which is what you
normally see). These addresses aren't necessarily the same. By looking
at the message header, you can see who the message is actually
addressed/delivered to. I'd check this first to be sure that there's
really a mis-delivery.

Sounds to me like the vpopmail database might have something amiss. I'd
have a look at the corresponding records there. phpmyadmin is a nice
tool for browsing around (and more!) mysql databases.

Hi Guys
Ive been having this issue on and off for a while now.
Basically ,ive got a user setup for example [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>, now for some reason someone is sending
mail to (again an example) [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> which is an account that doesn't
exist, but for some reason instead of dropping the mail, its being
delivered to the first guys email address [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>.
I've experienced this same scenario for other users. i.e.
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>.
It seems its matching the first part of the address and delivering it to
the user with the closest address or something, its very strange.
Any ideas anyone?
