Thanks for the help Chris....here is what I have...
In the inetd.conf file I have
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
mail.mydomain.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
I will research the dot-qmail...What I am trying to accomplish is having a
local email account on the domain that all of the servers can send to and
then have it forward to an offsite email that may change every so often such
as maybe a pager address today and yahoo email the next. This way it would
be easier to update one dotforward then all the servers and applications
pointing to the addresses.

Depending on what you want to do, you may not need the dotforward package.
See
the dot-qmail man page.
