Topic: Email to unknown users not working

[Philip Aylesworth]

I think I found a bug. Where do I send bug reports?

It doesn't matter whether I set "Email to unknown users:" to "Send to administrator" or "Return to sender" the fetchmail setting is still set to "set bouncemail". I think that this should be set to "set no bouncemail" for "Send to administrator".

I searched for the variable EmailUnknownUser in all the template files and could not find it being used anywhere. Am I barking up the wrong tree or is this a bug?

By the way, this is e-smith 4.0.

We are currently reviewing some bug tracking/reporting utilities here at e-smith;  in the mean time you can send bug reports to bugs@e-smith.net.

No, that setting doesn't need to change. That is only to tell fetchmail
what to do if it gets an unknown user response - which it will never get if the e-smith server is configured to accept all mail.

The variable EmailUnknownUser is used to determine whether or not to
expand the template for /var/qmail/aliases/.qmail-default - it isn't
used in any template though, as you have observed.
