I tend to repeat myself when these questions arise:
The "nowhere.mil:bob" in virtualdomains alternative
===================================================
If you use the "nowhere.mil:bob" in virtualdomains, then all mail is
delivered to the user bob.
This effectively mean that mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered to
~bob/.qmail-info if it exists, and otherwise to ~bob/.qmail
If you want to forward the mail form "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", then put the line
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
in ~bob/.qmail-info (no leading spaces).
(repeat with help, etc. One .qmail-file for each.)
The "nowhere.mil:alias-nowhere" in virtualdomains alternative
=============================================================
This is better if bob also is a normal user, and he and the system
administrator wants to keep the nowhere.mil mail out of his user
account.
The mail is delivered to the .qmail-files ~alias/.qmail-nowhere-*
This means that mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered to
~alias/.qmail-nowhere-info
Thus, put the line
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
into ~alias/.qmail-nowhere-info and you are all set for this forwarding.
(Repeat with help, etc. One .qmail-file for each.)
The fastforward-alternative
===========================
This is the best alternative for a bigger virtual domain.
Put "nowhere.mil:alias-nowhere" in virtualdomains
and install the fastforward package
<http://www.qmail.org/koobera/www/fastforward.html>.
Then put every alias for nowhere.mil in /etc/aliases
like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Finally put the line
| fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb
in ~alias/.qmail-nowhere-default
(Compile the aliases file with /var/qmail/bin/newaliases)
