(The index of "Running Qmail" doesn't > say anything about it). qmail only talks SMTP. However, splitting out particular message destinations is not particularly hard. See the qmail FAQ for how to do it for UUCP - a similar method can be used for most messages - set up the appropriate filter in ~alias/.qmail-default For initial tests, I'd suggest setting up something like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then creating ~openmail/.qmail-default which punts the mail into openmail using EXT[123...] parts of the address. > OpenMail would send SMTP messages out via sendmail, but it didn't use > any particularly special features -- so that could be easily substituted > by something else. If OpenMail calls /usr/lib/sendmail or talks to an SMTP server on port 25, it should work just fine with qmail for outbound mail.
