Interesting Answer Peter, but I will through a bit of a loop into this.
1. User account "bruce", no .qmail-bruce file.
- two messages are delivered to bruce when addressed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
2. User account "bruce", with .qmail-bruce file.
- one message is delivered to bruce when addressed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
So, unless I am missing something (in which case, please point me to where)
I do not see why the above example should go to the .qmail-default file.
In the event that the message does go to the default file, I do want both.
I want the bounce to go back AND a copy to be forwarded to the postmaster.
I performed an intersting test. I deleted ALL .qmail-* files, including
the .qmail-default and the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] just got delivered
once.
So, my theory is that creating a .qmail-default file in a virtual domain,
requires every user to have a .qmail-(user) file.

Hello Bknonix,
On Friday, February 14, 2003 at 3:51:04 AM you wrote (at least in
part):

And you _really_ wonder why mails are delivered twice?
The first line searches for the user in vpasswd.cdb and if found delivers
the mail. If not is redirects the mail to postmaster@... The second line
does exactly the same, except in case of failure it bounces the message. A
successful delivery done in line 1 does _NOT_ stop qmail-local executing the
other lines in .qmail-default, which a quick look into man dot-qmail and man
qmail-local would have revealed.
Decide ... Bounce or Forward. If you _really need_ both you'll for sure have
no problem with writing an own program or script that is called from
vdelivermail (|.../vdelivermail '' |/path/to/my/prog) and forwards and
bounces by itself, with the effect you only have _one_ delivery instruction
in .qmail-default.
