[nflug] Copy pop account email to another email address in QMAIL

[speljamr at speljamr.com]

The .qmail file doesn't work. Everytime the message is delivered to the
pop account it is forwarded to the email address in the file. This ends up
creating an infinite loop and you get something that looks like a mail
bomb. I know because I tried this. I got 118 copies before I shut it
down.

However, I found a patch called qmail-tap at http://www.inter7.com/qmailtap/qmail-tap.diff.
It lets you define who to copy the email to in a qmail control file.

Unfortunately after I recompiled qmail I now get the following
error message from the SMTP server, sending and receiving: Server replied:
451 Temporary local problem

I managed to track the problem to
the following error in perl-scanner: X-Antivirus-MYDOMAIN-1.25-st-qms
Unable to open pipe to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

Anyone have
any ideas?
