It works! - part of it at least :) But : - I am using an already patched qmail (with the John Simpson combined patch) and when I patch it with qmail-tap I get a failure indication on qmail-control.9. After viewing qmail-control.9.rej I see it fails adding the ".I taps \fR(none) \fRqmail-queue" so, I add this line manually to the qmail-control.9 file. After that I recompile qmail and copy the old contents of the control dir to the current control dir (to keep my qmail settings, otherwise it looses mailbox information (?). Nevertheless, It seems to be working. If anyone knows any drawback please advice.
- qmail-tap copies ALL mails, even mail from local accounts. Is there a way to copy only mails in and/or out the server ? - how can I copy to 2 accounts ? i.e., copy to a mailmaster account and also to a department account. I don't know the syntax. I already tried [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> You're right, I can create it by hand.
