Hello.
Most bounce messages to spammers bounce back. To avoid this, in Mail Preferences > Mail to nonexistent user I specified Reject. This in turn created file /var/qmail/control/rejectnonexist.
This caused problems with sending and receiving local mail. For example when a user attempted to send mail from the Thunderbird mail client the mail server (sometimes) replied... Send Error: 421 opendir() failed (#5.7.15) No such file or directory.
Things worked correctly again when I removed that file, but now I'm back to handling double bounce messages.
My qmail environment uses poppassd and mbox format. The server args in smtp_psa are... "-Rt0 /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /
var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /var/qmai
l/bin/true"
Why would the Mail to nonexistent user Reject option cause such behavior and how can I change that behavior?
