This is a really trivial question but I can't figure it out at the
moment. I thus *do* have some sympathy with the recent postings about
the documentation.
I have qmail running on my RedHat 5.2 system and the basics work fine.
Mail is being delivered to all my users correctly and also mail to
postmaster, root and mailer-daemon works OK using the .qmail-xxx files
in /var/qmail/alias.
I also have a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default file so any badly or
incorrectly addressed mail gets to me. This is fine as I'm on a dial
up line, we are just four users and the level of badly addressed mail
is minimal.
However I now want to get mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried looking at the qmail
documentation and it just confused me I'm afraid. Should I be using
the /var/qmail/users/assign file describe in qmail-users (but I don't
have one at the moment). Should I be using the mechanisms described
in dot-qmail? *What* should I be using for a simple alias mechanism?
I have created a file .qmail-maxine.green in /var/qmail/alias with
just 'maxine' in it but that doesn't seem to work. It also seems a
rather clumsy mechanism if I wanted to create a lot of aliases. What
I would really like to do is arrange that all mail for (regex)
'.*maxine.*@isbd.demon.co.uk' would go to maxine, is there a simple
way to do this?
