Upon further reflection I can see how that might be inferred. Just to be clear... dotqmail files are used as delivery instructions for qmail... and a # is actually nothing more than a comment... and with nothing else in the dotqmail file... the delivery agent doesn't know what else to do with the message and basically drops it to the floor and moves on. And in response to the vpopmail issue, which I wasn't aware of... if you created a .qmail-null file with a # in it... then it would bypass the vpopmail delivery agent... (Thank you Oden for bringing that to my attention.) I have used a .qmail file on my null user in both 5.2.1 and 5.3.20 (currently in production) with no problems. Same end result...
