I am using Vmail-SQL with EXIM on a Red Hat 7.2 server.  When mail comes =
in for some domains (not all) it gets placed in the =
/var/spool/mail/SERVERS/domainname{return =
character}domainname/var/spool/mail/SERVERS/domainname. Or in some cases =
it gets put in the correct directory, but in the local_part{return =
character}local_part. When I do an ls on the SERVERS directory I will =
have a listing for foo.com and one for foo.com?foo.com. Or in the =
foo.com directory I will have a user and a user?user in the list.  As a =
temporary fix I have set up links from the directory it is suppose to =
write in to the directory it is actually writing in. It seems like in =
some cases it is reading the directory information or the local_part =
twice and placing a return character between the two instances.  I think =
it's mainly happening to domains that have aliased domains pointing to =
them. I haven't found a pattern to the user problem.=20
