Thank you. I've been trying to figure it out for 4 years now. Some process seems to add the second entry to the .qmail file along the way. I'm not sure if it is when the account is modified by one of the web interfaces or by some other process. Here is an example of a .qmail file from an account that was receiving double emails: -------- | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop -A 'Content-Filter:maildrop-toaster' /etc/mail/mailfilter #/home/vpopmail/domains/somedomain.com/mary/Maildir/ --------
Notice I remarked the second line. After that, the account has been fine ever since. Every now and again, I get one that somehow reverts back. Whenever it comes up, I'll look for answers for a day or two, then get busy and forget about it.... Last time it happened was when I was still using the older Qmail Toaster Admin (http://mail.domain.xyz/admin-toaster/) I have been using the qcontrol (thank you Jake) for a while now, and I'm not sure I've seen the occurrence since I started using it.

Nice catch, Patrick. Any idea how these entries may have gotten in the .qmail file(s)? Just curious. -- -Eric 'shubes' Patrick Ring wrote: > Sometimes it's also helpful to check your .qmail file in the accounts > where this happens.
