Simple answer is you can't. Complicated answer is to add server1.domain.com and server2.domain.com and make that a domain alias for domain.com. On server1 add forwards for user to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and create the rest as local users. Do the same for server2 and viola.
Gotta make sure if you add a user on one, you make an alias on the other. On 2/19/07, Paulo Sousa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

When i send 1 email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] i receive 3000 emails on the mailbox [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the [EMAIL PROTECTED] do not receive the email.

I'm wondering about one piece though: * echo 'mydomain.com:name.of.other.server' > /var/qmail2/control/smtproutes This will route (for the select 5, based on the user's .qmail file) the message to name.of.other.server. I'm thinking that this sort of relay will break SPF, so the 2nd server should not be checking SPF. SRS on the toaster might fix this though, as I'm not familiar with SRS yet. You won't be able to specify name.of.other.server by domain name, of course. I presume that will be an IP address (that won't change). Yes? I'm still also curious as to *why* these 5 accounts need to be on a separate server, if you'd care to explain. So to answer your question, I think that if you simply copy the qmail tree to another branch and make the changes Adrian suggests, it will work. With qmail down (and queues empty), # cp -pr /var/qmail /var/qmail2 The only piece I think that's missing is the qmail-send daemon for qmail2. You'll need to do a bit of tweaking to get a 2nd qmail-send running for the second instance, but I think that's all you'd need. I could be missing something here too. Let us know how you make out.

Maybe I'm just a bit thick headeded today. Can you post (a link to) the whole thread with Adrian? Paulo Sousa wrote: Hi I'm trying this solution: >From Adrian Ho: You need two qmail instances, but both can be on the same server: * Setup and install a second qmail instance (say, rooted at /var/qmail2). The sole responsibility of this instance is to forward the mail to the other server, so don't set up qmail-smtpd/pop3d/etc. Make sure mydomain.com is /not/ in /var/qmail2/control/{locals,virtualdomains}. * echo 'mydomain.com:name.of.other.server' > /var/qmail2/control/smtproutes * echo '|/var/qmail2/bin/qmail-inject -A [EMAIL PROTECTED]' > ~user1/.qmail (repeat as necessary for each user) I only need redirect 5 email accounts in that domain Regards, Paulo Sousa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric "Shubes" wrote: Paulo Sousa wrote: Hi First, my name is Paulo and i'm a new member of this list. I want to split a domain. Why? What is the problem you're trying to solve? I can't imagine what the problem is, but I get the impression that doing this won't solve it. Even if this solved some problem, how would the thing know which users belong to which instance? Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> host = qmailserver1.domain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> host = qmailserver2.domain.com I've look around and i think that i need install a second instance of qmailtoaster with the home /var/qmail2 What i need to do to install the second qmail home -> /var/qmail2 ??
