Problem with Bcc's 'for' line disappearing
Title: Problem with Bcc's 'for' line disappearing Hi there, We have a problem with the 'for' line being stripped out when delivering Bcc'ed messages to the Bcc'ed recipient locally. This is a problem because we have a catch all mailbox set up in the following way: .mail-default contains : | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /home/vpopmail/users/domain.com/anything This is then picked up by another server which delivers to local users on the client's site. But as the 'for' line is stripped out (presumably because qmail thinks that it's in the correct mailbox and there is no need for a 'for' line any more), the client's mail server doesn't know which mailbox to send it. Any help would be appreciated. Eric

What is a for header? I've never seen such a beast. Eric is probably talking about the for clause of the Received header: Received: from muncher.math.uic.edu ([131.193.178.181]) (envelope-sender [EMAIL PROTECTED]) by smtp01.mail.onemain.com (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 23 May 2001 10:10:26 - here ^^ Looking at the 'for' clause is a hack, and will only work under some circumstances. Particularly, if more than one person on the same mail server receives a message, the 'for' clause will not be present at all. Fortunately, qmail provides a better solution. Use the first 'Delivered-To' header; that will always be there, and will always be correct and unambiguous. -ScottG.
