Topic: incoming mail delivered multiple times 7.0b9

[jtdohert]

I am receiving incoming messages multiple times and can not figure out why.  In the log below, I sent an email from an external server to Mickey and have forwarding to Jeff.  Mickey received 2 and Jeff received 4 on the fowarding.  Any idea where I can remedy this?

Have you reported as a bug?

[jtdohert]

Not yet because I wasn't sure if it was a "user" error (yes, me).  Digging around further, I am trying to find how .qmail files are created.  They seem to have been generated differently across the 10 users.  If this is a legitimate bug, I will report it, but I have not pinpointed its exact source.

[jtdohert]

Adding a new user, testcase, automatically generates the following .qmail file in /home/e-smith/files/users/testcase

| condredirect testcase-junkmail /bin/grep -q -i 'X-Spam-Status: Yes'
# Forward not set
./Maildir/
./Maildir/

So I assume the duplicate ./Maildir/ is why 2 emails are getting delivered for each incoming message, but why?

Please, please, please report issues to the bug tracker. That's the place to track bugs. The developers are here to help, and we ask (frequently) for issues to go in the bug tracker rather than the forums. That way we can track them to closure. Please raise a bug if something seems strange - we may know what it is, or may never have seen it before. Either way, please raise it in the bug tracker.

Let's do that via the bug tracker rather than the forums - it saves development time to do it in the bug tracker and development time is scarce. Thanks.

I have posted it in bug tracker.  I just didn't want to waste the developers time with usage issues rather than legitimate programming issues.

Thanks for the report. It wastes more time for us to respond to issues in the forums, which often result in duplicate reports and misleading threads.

What you have described should not be possible on an unmodified system, and so we need to track down what's happening. We're the best placed to do so, and we can do so much more efficiently in the bug tracker than the forums.
