Greetings. I apologize in advance if this question has been answered in
docs or previous discussion - it seems like it should have been. :) I
*have* read LWQ, the Howto, man qmail-local, man dot-qmail, and info about
fastforward and similar packages, and still haven't found the
clarification I need:
We have some virtual domains on our server (FreeBSD 4.2, qmail 1.03,
tcpserver, daemontools, etc). For one of them, the user wants to have all
the mail sent to any address @domain.com piled into one Mailbox file
(we're using Mailbox, not Maildir) so they can then download it via POP
and route it internally at their organization. Seems pretty standard,
prepped easily on our side via .qmail-default.
The concern they have is that if a message is
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
they'll get three copies of the message in the monolithic Mailbox file on
our server (I tested this and they will with default setup). This is bad
for them because apparently their re-routing software only looks at "To:"
lines and not "Delivered-To:" lines - I don't know if that's standard or
not.
So, the desired solution is to find a way to only deposit *one* copy of
the message in the monolithic Mailbox file, but with headers intact such
that their software can re-deliver the message to all the appropriate
recipients.
I found this script:
http://www.qmail.org/eliminate-dups
but I'm not sure this is its intended (or possible) use.
I'm hoping someone can say "drop X into a .qmail-default file and you're
off to the races" or, less preferably, "tell your user to get a clue,
because of X" (or the even less preferable "you should get a clue,
period.").
Thanks in advance for your help.
Chris
