Weird messages in qmail-send log

Hey guys,

in the last time I've some weird messages in my qmail-send log and I don't
where I have to look to solve these problems if they are problems.
I not even know if qmail is the cause of these messages. I'm using
netqmail-1.05 with vpopmail, chkuser and simscan.

Here is a short part of my log:

I believe that if you're using chkuser and you're getting those error
messages, it's just telling you that root, anonymous and postmaster do
not have valid email addresses in your system.

Check the chkuser documentation.

Hey Thomas,

yes exactly the problem is that I have no aliases for them so this is
causing triple bounces which bounces the mail then. But this is not part of
chkuser Very Happy

. This is a normal qmail behaviour. A hint from the vchkpw
mailinglist was that this could be a webscript which sends mail or a cronjob
which tries to send mails to root.

I created a temporary alias to get the name of the script/cron and to
eliminate this problem.

Thanks for help

Regards
Christoph
