Hey all,

Well, after much tribulation and preparation, and no small amount of panic, I have 
recently made "the big switch".  Owing in no small part to Jason, all the devs, and 
TMDA in general, I have recently changed my mail server from Sendmail/UW-IMAP/ system 
users to qmail/vpopmail/Courier-IMAP/etc.  I used the source RPMs provided from 
http://www.qmailtoaster.com/, with a variety of my own adaptations.  I've been fairly 
pleased thus far.  It's all on Red Hat 8.

As you may suspect, throgh, I have encountered one problem I've been unable to 
resolve.  It's pretty strange:  it seems that confirming a message actually cases the 
confirmation response, not the original message, to be released into my inbox.  Here's 
an example:

I send a message with the following info to a TMDA protected addy (shown here with 
headers as received by qmail):

------------------------------------------------------------------
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: This is the Original Message
From: "Larry Fine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
X-TMDA-Action: CONFIRM action_incoming
X-TMDA-Recipient: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is appended to LOG_INCOMING:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Wed Aug 27 17:02:06 CDT 2003
From: "Larry Fine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subj: This is the Original Message
Actn: CONFIRM action_incoming                                           (1216)

Date: Wed Aug 27 17:02:06 CDT 2003
From: "Larry Fine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subj: This is the Original Message
Actn: CONFIRM pending 1062021726.30729.msg                              (1216)
------------------------------------------------------------------

And I get back the appropriate confirmation request with my personal template:

------------------------------------------------------------------
To release your message for delivery, please JUST HIT REPLY,
send an empty message to the following address:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or visit this URL :
http://mail.theboonies.us/tmda/index.cgi?109&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&1062020422.30116.e7a99b
------------------------------------------------------------------

I confirm the message by replying to the confirmation request.  However, at this 
point, nothing is appended to LOG_INCOMING, and the RESPONSE, not the original 
message, is released to my inbox:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: Re: Please confirm your message
From: "Larry Fine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
------------------------------------------------------------------

LOG_DEBUG is not added to during the process.  The .qmail file it should be hitting 
is:  /home/vpopmail/domains/datavortex.net/.qmail-datavortex:

------------------------------------------------------------------
| preline /usr/bin/tmda-filter -S /home/vpopmail/bin/vpopmail-vdir.sh
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
------------------------------------------------------------------

And the weirdest thing:  Using the tmda-cgi URL to release the message DOES work just 
as expected, no problem.  It appends a line showing "OK good_confirm_done_cookie" to 
LOG_INCOMING.

Thanks to all the TMDA dev team for turning me on to qmail and vpopmail. I expect my 
life to get much simpler once I get all the kinks worked out of the new system.  If 
you have any ideas about my problem, you have my gratitude for your suggestions.

  Regards,
  DV
