Pat,

Are you using the qmail-scanner-queue to submit directly into the maildrop filter like this post, or via the .qmail file for the domain?

I'm not running verbose_spamassassin but I'm trying to think of any disadvantages of doing it this way rather than altering the .qmail-default file like I've done to submit it through.

Also, I've seen recommendations of adding the exit tag but this is the first one I've seen suggesting a firm EXITCODE=100.

As for my original error, it actually was a file limit exceeded...my /var/spool/mail/vpopmail file had reached 2GB. Seems the messages that couldn't bounce stayed there and piled up over time. I'd still like to fix this so that maildrop isn't preventing messages from bouncing or staying in my queue, and so I shouldn't have that spool file fill up anymore.

I just started seeing this pop up in my qmail send log, after noticing my queue had been skyrocketing in size the past day.

delivery 3111: deferral: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/ maildrop:_signal_0x19/

I run maildrop in my .qmail file for the individual domains to sort spam into a separate maildir, like this...

| preline maildrop /path/to/my/filter

which has been working great for about a month. I've see the no_mailbox error but I haven't seen the signal_0x19 before.

No bounced or error messages are replying back to the sender who attempts to send to a non-existent address. Also, these failed messages never leave the queue, so my server is getting somewhat bogged down with retry attempts as qmail keeps trying to resend these messages. Much higher load times that usual.

Anyone seen the signal_0x19 error and know how to get rid of it?
