I don't run vpopmail, so there isn't a 'tigerknight.org' directory. Therefore any alias under /var/qmail/alias affects all domains that are accepted by the server (and there are about 4). So the .qmail-default that exists under /var/qmail/alias has been put in place and the only line is: # bounce-no-mailbox Exactly as directed in the instructions, yet it has no effect and a message gets accepted as deliverable to an address whether an account exists or not. > Is tigerknight.org in /var/qmail/control/locals?

Re: [vchkpw] Greetings, some help please?
The website listed this list as being the support location for both qmail and netqmail/vpopmail etc. so I posted here. Could you tell me where the proper list is if they are incorrect? As for relaying, I'm using pop-before-smtp and it's worked great - but how does that affect chkuser? Tib On Sat, 15 Jan 2005, Bill Wichers wrote: > > I got it working, sort of.

[vchkpw] Greetings, some help please?
I got it working, sort of. Went through the whole thing, fired up the new smtpd and find that while chkuser IS functioning, it's just not WORKING. I'm just running a basic qmail 1.03 install. No vpopmail, no fancy stuff. In the following text, the rcpt to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should bounce. But it doesn't. my .qmail-default for the general mail server (affecting all domains) has nothing but the string # bounce-no-mailbox' in it but it just doesn't catch. ltaica:/var/qmail.new/bin# ./qmail-smtpd 220 altaica.tigerknight.org ESMTP mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <:unknown:unknown> rcpt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : found existing recipient 250 ok rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CHKUSER rejected relaying: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <:unknown:unknown> rcpt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : client not allowed to relay 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.5.3 - chkuser) quit 221 altaica.tigerknight.org
