qmail bounce
Hello, i seem to be facing a strange problem. I send my emails via qmail (on linux) and all the emails gets delivered to the recipient's inbox and bounces back to the sender's address and well. This happens irrespective of the recipient's email domain (gmail, yahoo, hotmail...).
We recently revamped the email delivery application and it's been happening ever since, on a consistent basis. The previous application however sends emails successfully, although they run on a different Linux box.
We noticed that the bounce messages contained one of the two error codes "5.1.1 Bad alias" or "5.2.2 - Recipient inbox full", both of which are not true.
Could you please help ?

fastforward
fastforward(1) General Commands Manual fastforward(1)
NAME
fastforward - forward mail according to a cdb database
SYNOPSIS
in .qmail-default: | fastforward [ -nNpPdD ] cdb
DESCRIPTION
fastforward forwards each incoming message according to instructions in cdb created by setforward.
If there is no forwarding instruction in cdb for the incoming recipient address, fastforward will bounce the message.
You can override .qmail-default with a specific .qmail-recipient; see dot-qmail(5).
Warning to system administrators: Messages do not reach ~alias/.qmail-default unless they are controlled by the alias user. See qmail-
getpw(8).
SECURITY WARNING: If cdb includes instructions pointing to a mailing list owned by another user, that user gains some amount of control
over fastforward's behavior. In particular, he can force fastforward to open any file that you can access, and to read any world-readable
file that you own, even if the file is in a world-inaccessible directory.
OPTIONS
-n No delivery. fastforward will print a description of its actions, but will not actually read or forward a message.
-N (Default.) Forward a message as usual.
-p Pass through. If fastforward does not find the recipient in cdb, it exits 0, giving the message to further commands in .qmail-
default. If fastforward finds the recipient, it forwards the message and exits 99, so that further commands are skipped.
-P (Default.) Do not pass through. If fastforward finds the recipient, it forwards the message and exits 0. Otherwise it bounces the
message.
-d Use $DEFAULT@$HOST as the recipient address, or $EXT@$HOST if $DEFAULT is not set.
-D (Default.) Use $RECIPIENT as the recipient address.
VERSION
This is fastforward 0.51. The fastforward home page is http://pobox.com/~djb/fastforward.html.
