Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Unknown recipient when using metasend Post 22449 by Perderabo on Tuesday 4th of June 2002 07:48:26 AM

The problem is certainly local and you are really pointing the finger at this metasend tool. Somehow it is either inserting a bogus "Errors-To:" line in the header or it's messing up the envelope sender. The log files on your local system should tell what happened. But fixing it may be hard. What language is matasend written in? Do you have source?

You might want to try this script.

qmail-local

qmail-local(8)                                                System Manager's Manual                                               qmail-local(8)

NAME

       qmail-local - deliver or forward a mail message

SYNOPSIS

       qmail-local [ -nN ] user homedir local dash ext domain sender defaultdelivery

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-local reads a mail message and delivers it to user by the procedure described in dot-qmail(5).

       The  message's  envelope  recipient  is local@domain.  qmail-local records local@domain in a new Delivered-To header field.  If exactly the
       same Delivered-To: local@domain already appears in the header, qmail-local bounces the message, to prevent mail forwarding loops.

       The message's envelope sender is sender.  qmail-local records sender in a new Return-Path header field.

       homedir is the user's home directory.  It must be an absolute directory name.

       dash and ext identify the .qmaildashext file used by qmail-local; see dot-qmail(5).  Normally dash is either empty or a lone hyphen.  If it
       is  empty,  qmail-local  treats  a nonexistent .qmailext the same way as an empty .qmailext: namely, following the delivery instructions in
       defaultdelivery.

       The standard input for qmail-local must be a seekable file, so that qmail-local can read it more than once.

OPTIONS

       -n     Instead of reading and delivering the message, print a description of the delivery instructions.

       -N     (Default.) Read and deliver the message.

EXIT CODES

       0 if the delivery is completely successful; nonzero if any delivery instruction failed.  Exit code 111 indicates temporary failure.
