RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Receiving two copies of every mail.
Sometimes it's also helpful to check your .qmail file in the accounts where this happens. It might be pushing the mail through the spamfilter twice. Remark or delete the second entry in the /home/vpopmail/domains/yourdomain.com/youruser/.qmail file if this happens. (at least this has worked for me) Patrick M. Ring P.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Receiving two copies of every mail.
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.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Receiving two copies of every mail.
Hii, I wasn't expecting such a long discussion on this matter. It got resolved on its one this afternoon and I am not receiving any them twice anyone. I rarely touch my server and there is no possibility that things get changed on their own in the server. Anyways its solved for me on its own as it started on its own.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Receiving two copies of every mail.
I have also seen the - user gets multiple emails -- and then it stops. i has happened rarely. and i have told folks that -I am sorry - it is OK - it will stop doing that. and indeed ... it always has. I have suspected - but not proven that it *can* happen when the following is true the user get email from 2 locations [ dsktop laptop ] at one of them they are leaving the email on the server fro 5 days. at the other it is deleted from the server upon reading. for whatever reason this results in ... the flag not being set -- or whatever and the mail can come down ...more than once. i just offer that - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
