Can't send mail from local to local

[Donboy]

I can send mail any way I want, except if I try to send mail from one local account to another local mailbox, it returns an error. I am hosting both rpgdomains and websupport.cc on the same box.

Your setup is trying to deliver to a local unix account named &quot;donboy&quot;

I should be more clear.
The prior statement is true, you are trying to deliver to an account called DonBoy because your virtual domains file specifies that the user to deliver to has no domain in its username. Therefore, the attempt is made to &quot;donboy&quot; at the host's local domain.

Let's assume that you REALLY wanted the mail to go to donbay@websupport.cc as a local user. Then you would move &quot;websupport.cc&quot; to locals and out of virtualdomains.

Let's consider another case. The host name is &quot;flubber.example.org&quot;. THEN you could create a local user named &quot;donboy&quot; (you would alter the 'me' control value) and your virtual mail to websupport.cc is going to be delivered to the local user.

You've been at this along, Donboy.

Perhaps if you took a step back from your qmail hacking and actually described what you're trying to accomplish, we might be able to better help you?!

Good luck

Ok, good idea. here's what I'm shooting for:

I want to have several accounts under websupport.cc. Right now, I've got Donboy, Scott and a few others. I want their mail to be delivered normally, so if somebody sends mail to either of them, it'll arrive just as you'd expect.

At the same time, if there is any excess mail, like mail sent to nobody@websupport.cc, I'd like those messages to arrive in &quot;donboy&quot;'s mailbox. This way, if people send mail to &quot;scott&quot; he will get his mail as normal. If people send mail to &quot;sales&quot; I probably will not have that mailbox created, so I want those messages to be sent to donboy so I can see them.

Thanks for asking. I hope what I'm looking for can be done.... easily.

 

[Donboy]

Wait a minute... this is madness! I had qmail running great the other day and I haven't really touched it at all, but now I realize I'm unable to send mail to any of my accounts! All mail sent to any local accounts is returned saying &quot;no mailbox here by that name&quot;. What could have gone wrong?!?! My showctl output looks great, IMO.

Any ideas?

I'm going to keep fiddling with it until I begin to understand what went wrong.

 

[Donboy]

Ok, I'm officially a nut-case. I just realized for some reason I had my donboy directory chown'ed as root. I don't know how or when I did that, but it was obviously a mistake.

Anyway, I fixed that and now I'm back in business for most of my mailboxes. Now the trouble is, I can't discriminate between scott's mailbox and donboy's.

If I send mail to scott@websupport.cc, I end up getting his mail in my inbox. I'm sure it's because the .qmail-default file what's causing it to come to me, but how can I override this?

I've tried making a .qmail-scott file under donboy's home directory and inside this file, I added his name &quot;scott&quot; but it's still not working. The message I get is...

&quot;This message is looping: it already has my Delivered-To line&quot;

This is also true if I use &scott instead.

I will keep reading and if you see this message before I can figure it out myself, please let me know what you think.

Donboy,
Your description has helped. My suggestion is this.
Consider moving websupport.cc to be a local domain, not virtual. It doesn't make sense to me to have it be virtual if the host is &quot;websupport.cc&quot; (I would recommend hostname mail.websupport.cc, BTW).

Then, with local accounts created for Scott, Donboy, Sales, etc., you can adjust your .qmail-default to reflect your catchall account requirements as found in this thread.

http://www.ornl.gov/cts/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2000/06/msg00334.html

I would also recommend that you read the &quot;LOCAL USER DELIVERIES&quot; and &quot;VIRTUAL DOMAIN/USER DELIVERIES&quot; sections of this HOWTO

http://howtos.eoutfitters.net/email/

I think your strategy would be sound if you made &quot;websupport.cc&quot; local and &quot;rpgdomains&quot; virtual. Then you could insert the proper catchall and forwarding in your .qmail-xxxx files and get delivery to work.

assuming your username is $1 in this bash snippet, you would set the permissions thusly.

chmod -R 755 ./Maildir
chmod 644 .qmail
chown -R $1 ./Maildir
chown $1 .qmail
