What I am unsure of is that if the [email protected] does not exist
anywhere on my server
how can CHKUSER accept it? This is pretty much a vanilla install of QMT?

Any address will be accepted if there's a CatchAll account defined. You can check that setting either on the
qmailadmin Email Accounts page, or by looking at the contents of the /home/vpopmail/domains/<domain>/.qmail-default
file.
Thank you for the reply Erik but I do not have any catchall accounts set in the
domain in question!
In fact I do not have a catchall for any domain.
my .qmail-default default is
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete
In that case, did the account ever exist? If so, I would check the vpopmail
database for anything that might be left over.
No the user never existed. I now now watching the logs and seeing a lot of
CHKUSER accepted for users that
never existed or existed 10 years ago.
That's unusual indeed. Perhaps Tonix can shed some light on this. My next step would be to have a look at the chkuser
source to see how it's making that determination. I expect that the chkuser code is probably ok, but there's something in
your setup that's not quite right. Perhaps something that chkuser/vpopmail isn't anticipating.
I have been watching logs for too long now but there really seems to be an
issue to attend to with CHKUSER.
The number of accounts that are NOT stopped by CHKUSER is surprising. I have
built a list of all email addresses
in my system and check the more obvious wrong ones via grep. It appears that
CHKUSER is accepting emails
regardless!
Is it possible I might have to rebuild it for some reason?
