I'd like to note that my /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file had these lines: mydomain.com:mydomain.com mydomain2.com:mydomain2.com But I tried inserting my system account with this change in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file: mydomain.com:frank mydomain2.com:frank mydomain.com:mydomain.com mydomain2.com:mydomain2.com But now all the non-existent accounts gets sent to my system account "frank" (i.e. /etc/passwd) into my Maildir (/home/frank/Maildir/), instead of my vpopmail user account "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (i.e. /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/frank) And all correct emails addressed to me, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" gets sent to my vpopmail user account (/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/frank/Maildir). At least I stopped the mail loops, but still how do you get emails addressed to non-existent accounts to go to the vpopmail user account, instead of system account? Many thanks, Frank
