Topic: Virtual domain e-mail alias prob

[Lloyd keen]

After applying the mods in the above howto I can no longer receive any e-mail to anyone (even a valid user account) for the domain for which I have modified (in this case lloydkeen.com). I keep getting the following error message:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at lloydkeen.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

:
This message is looping: it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6)

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

Here is the output of my /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains if that's any help:

Some  You have lloydkeen.com going to :alias-localdelivery and to :lloyd which I believe is where your loop is coming from:

lloydkeen.com:alias-localdelivery
lloydkeen.com:lloyd

You must have lloydkeen.com:lloyd in a custom-template which should be removed?

Also you show a double entry for e-smith.lloydkeen.com:alias-localdelivery???

If you wish to revert to the default settings then either rename or remove your /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains and then perform:
   
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

This will recreate the file var/qmail/control/virtualdomains with defaults.  Then issue the command "killall -HUP qmail-send" to restart qmail and re-read in the updated var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file.

killall -HUP qmail-send

Darrell

There's no need to guess what the loop is, since the original bounce message shows the Delivered-To headers.

My guess is that there is a forward set up for the user lloyd. Hence mail to lloyd@blah looks in ~lloyd/.qmail, which says to forward it to lloyd@blah. And around and around we go.
