what should mail.surfup.com do with the mail for surfup.com?
do ONE ONLY of the following:
if it should deliver it locally put
surfup.com into control/locals
delivery is now done to local users
if surfup.com is one of many individual domains then put
surfup.com:username-surfup into control/virtualdomains
delivery is now controlled by ~username/.qmail-surfup-*
if it should deliver to somewhere else then put
surfup.com:[ip.address.of.somewhereelse] into control/smtproutes
mail will be forwarded to the host on the ip address inside the square
brackets. you could put a hostname in there if you like.
