Hi all,
First message to this list.
We are running a setup in which a central server receives and sends mails for users sitting at
multiple branches. Branches each have a server which downloads mails by fetchmail and uploads mails
for users within our domains but sitting at other branches with maildirsmtp. Among different
business units we have 6 domains configured on the central server.
The central server is running qmail+vpopmail+qmail-scanner+spamassassin+clamav. The branch servers
have qmail with local user accounts with courier imap.
The setup has been running well with vpopmail 5.4.9 for past few years. Due to very heavy load on
qmail-scanner we decided to implement John Simpson's validrcptto.cdb to filter out invalid
recipients before messages hit qmail-scanner. As part of this we upgraded vpopmail to 5.4.27 in
order to get the onchange functionality. The validrcptto mechanism now works perfectly.
Now we can receive all mail from outside world ok, but any mail delivered to the central server with
maildirsmtp from the branches bounces with "mail is looping" error. This must be because of the
Delivered-To: header present in the message which was inserted by the branch server qmail while
delivering the message to alias for onward delivery to the central server by means of maildirsmtp.
What I would like to know is what changed between 5.4.9 to 5.4.27 to cause this. And how can I get
this working in 5.4.27?
