Extracted from: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34164.0

Procedure

  • To stop getting double bounce messages-
config setprop qmail DoubleBounceTo devnull
signal-event email-update
  • If you really geeky Smile You can check the database if you like...
config show qmail

qmail=service
DoubleBounceTo=devnull
MaxMessageSize=15000000
status=enabled
  • Expand only the doublebounceto template....
expand-template /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto
  • Check /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto is set to devnull.....
cat /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto

devnull
  • And restart qmail 'manually'....
svc -t /service/qmail

or 

/etc/init.d/qmail restart


Qmail Handle

Some post indicate to use qmHandle from Saco, but you are adviced there is a bug

install qmHandle http://www.saco-support.de/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=3&pcid=0&nav=0 On my system, the following command will remove existing double-bounces from the queue: qmHandle -Sfailure\ notice

And then I run this, to make sure qmHandle hasn't left qmail unstable: /etc/init.d/qmail restart
