Hi there,

Long time user of qmail, vpopmail, qmailadmin, and sqwebmail.

Recently on one of our servers running qmailadmin 1.0.2 the "Forward"
function broke if doing it from within the email address's part.  In other
words Login, select "email addresses", click "modify" on a person's name
and try setting the forward.

It just simply did not write the ususal .qmail-user file.  Although it
remembers the email address you want it forwarded too because if you come
back later it's still there.

However if you Login and then click on "aliases forwards" you can add a
forward over there just fine.

I rebooted, fixed nothing.  I recompiled the source and reinstalled
./configure
make
make install

and that too fixed nothing.

So I downloaded the latest 1.0.6 and installed it.

Now interesting thing happens.  If I go to "email addresses", click on a
users name and "modify" then set a forward it saves it and it WORKS.  Yet
there is no .qmail-user file and if I go to the section "aliases forwards"
it's not there.  I can add it there in addition.

Then when the user un-does the forward within the "email address" section
it still forwards because of the .qmail-user file written in the "aliases
forwards" section.  Of course I just undo that and it's all fixed.

Can someone explain this to me.  How is qmailadmin setting up a forward
without a .qmail-forward file? Was it always this way and I just never
noticed or did someone change it??

Thanks a million and sorry for the mouth full of a post.

Malcolm
