Topic: About doublebounce

[Per Sørensen]

Searched and found the fix for the doublebounced mails:

>This little modification should take care of that.

This works fine, but what does actually happen? Can anyone enligthen me... What does the "#" mean?

By the way i implemented it into the tempate-custom, since it gets overwritten now and then.

Can you post your custom template mdifications please

I also found if you reboot the server the mod is lost, therefore the need for the custom template perhaps.

I think Charlie Brady also posted a suitable fix that might take care of that partciular problem, I.m yet to test it out.

I did:

mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/alias
touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-oblivion
/bin/echo "#" > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-oblivion

touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/doublebounceto
/bin/echo "oblivion" > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/doublebounceto

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-oblivion
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto

service qmail restart
