We are taking over a domain and their users. i put their domain in virtualdomains as: ifreedom.com:if and ifreedom.com was added to rcpthosts so any mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will go to if-joejoe and be delivered locally. in /var/qmail/users/assign i've placed =if-joejoe:mailq:25312:103:path_to_his_new_account::: . and i ran /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu to create "cdb"... mail forwards just fine to joejoe's new mailbox... i might need 100000 entries in this file. is this method the most efficient to getting mail delivered locally or should i go another route? each entry in assign will drop mail into a different mailbox. Thanks for your insight, mike.
