Sorry for the strange topic. I have patched netqmail-1.0.5 manual with chkuser. compiled without any errors. I use the defauls setting (as they seem to fit what i need). I have one domain -domain44.be- which has a catch all address and one -liberty.be- which does not have a catch all address.
the default domains .qmail-default contains: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail/ '' bounce-no-mailbox the liberty.be/.qmail-default file contains: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail/ '' bounce-no-mailbox the domain44.be/.qmail-default file contains: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /home/vpopmail/domains/domain44.be/__catch__all__ if running ./qmail-smtpd from the compile dir all works perfect: mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CHKUSER accepted sender: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <:unknown:unknown> rcpt <> : sender accepted 250 ok rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CHKUSER accepted any rcpt: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <:unknown:unknown> rcpt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : accepted any recipient for this domain (the catch all in action) 250 ok rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CHKUSER rejected rcpt: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <:unknown:unknown> rcpt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : not existing recipient 550 5.1.1 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (chkuser) (no catch all so rejected) Perfect till there. Now i (re)start qmail which was stopped before recompiling. I send OK => @4000000046cacde206b769ec CHKUSER accepted any rcpt: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <:hoboi3bl4.telenet-ops.be:195.130.137.79> rcpt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : accepted any recipient for this domain Not OK => @4000000046cacdfe395888cc CHKUSER accepted any rcpt: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <:nocme2bl3.telenet-ops.be:195.130.132.35> rcpt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : accepted any recipient for this domain I have been looking at it all morning and can't quite get my head around it, must be something smallish and stupid yet very frustrating. Any help is greatly apreciated. Regard Thomas
