I dont think you can do this I do remember seeing a patch somewhere that allows it (maybe it was on qmail.org?), but I think there are some pretty strong arguments as to why it should not be done The argument is along the lines of that the qmail-smtpd would have to launch a simulated delivery attempt for every incoming mail message to determine whether the account existed or not, and that would waste a lot of resources. > What is the best way to deal with a bounce than bounced...

This is not vpopmail related, its a straight qmail question You can control who receives the doublebounce message using commands like # send double-bounces to [EMAIL PROTECTED] echo 'doublebounce' > /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto echo 'yourdomain.com' > /var/qmail/control/doublebouncehost That way if you dont want doublebounces to come to your mailbox, you can send it elsewhere Michael.
