incomplete Address in header

Hi,

I've noticed when checking headers, usually but not always spam, that my
email address is shown as "Delivered-To: alex@0" & not my full address. This
also occurs when I'm bcc'd in a message.

As I have multiple virtual domains, this is an annoyance at times.

Thanks,
--Alex

Is this what happens when a message is sent via SMTP with no domain in
it, i.e.

220 mail.virtualflex.us ESMTP
ehlo there
250-mail.virtualflex.us
250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-PIPELINING
250 8BITMIME
mail from:<sgifford [at] suspectclass>
250 ok
rcpt to:<alex>
250 ok

? Or perhaps when mail is sent to <alex@[216.240.150.100]>? In the
latter case, it's supposed to use the contents of the localiphost
control file, or the me control file if localiphost isn't present. In
the former case I believe it uses me, but I can't find that in the
manpage right now.

Another thought: are you using a "-l 0" flag to tcpserver? Some part
of your system could be misusing that information. Try changing it to:

-l `cat /var/qmail/control/me`

and see if the problem gets better.

If none of these help, post the output of qmail-showctl.

Not to my knowledge. My qmail is the hsphere standard install.

http://216.240.150.100/qmail.txt is a copy of the startup script
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmaild

http://216.240.150.100/qmail-showctl.txt Its a long output, so I sent it as
text also.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hrm...Can you see what's causing this to happen? Maybe messages with
no envelope sender domain, an IP address for a domain, a domain of
"@0" or "@[0]" or "@[0.0.0.0]"?
