Here is a problem I discovered, and I'm not sure if this is just an architectural issue with Qmail or a real problem.
I receive a "mail is looping" failure notice whenever I "redirect" a message to myself, or even if I sent it to my address from my gmail account (but the original message was sent to @strangecode.com). I can send myself mail fine, just not redirect. I can redirect to other @strangecode.com users fine. I found that if I were to change the .qmail-default line for my domain from: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox to: &[EMAIL PROTECTED] I would receive the message at my gmail account. So it is the bounce-no-mailbox command that is causing the loop? But why? [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a valid address and as I said I can send mail to myself, just not "redirect." The failure notice message is below. Thanks for any light you can shed! Quinn PS: You guys are going to hear from my more often now. I just brought my qmail toaster online last weekend and have begun migrating all our users in batches. I really appreciate all the help! ===================================================== Hi. This is the qmail-send program at one.strangecode.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up.
