Topic: Mail sorting

[Groovy]

On a fresh installed SME 5.6 server I'm experiencing a strange problem: mail that is sent by a mailrobot ends up in the postmaster's mailbox. This  means that if, for example, I subscribe myself to a newsletter, the newsletter newer reaches my mailbox, but is sent directly to the postmaster's mb.
I collect my mail from a so called "catch-all-account" so all the sorting has to be done by QMail.
I don't know where to look, so please advise.

Regards,
Jan.

Jan, this is a known problem, think it's even in the manual.

And there is seriously no way to work around it? Seems a bit strange to me, because everyting has worked OK untill I had to rebuild my testserver due to a power failure and no recent back-up.

Is there really no one who can give me some advise on how to get back to a (good) working situation?

Thanks in advance,
Jan.

Some ISPs add an additional header to all mails before dropping them into the "catchall" or multidrop mailboxes, eg. x-delivered-to. If your ISP does this as well, then all you need to do is set in server-manager to sort on x-delivered-to instead of "standard".

I've done this for a few clients whose ISPs support this and there's never been a problem in the 3 years they've had the system.
