Hello
you ll notice that in the (if default setup) /var/qmail/users directory
a file assign (text file)
a binary file cdb (built from assign)
and a lock file assign.lock
When you add a new domain or a new domain alias
that domain is added to the assign file and the cdb file is built
The assign is a very important file, in the "old" days when the uid, gid
of vpopmail wasnt fixed and specified to 89:89
you had to edit that assign file when you were migrating otherwise you
d face big issues with permissions :)
basically if you look at the file you can see :
+domain_name-:domain_name:uid:gid:path_of_the_mail_boxes:-::
+dom1.com-:dom1.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/dom1.com:-:: <- normal
domain
+dom2.com-:dom1.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/dom1.com:-:: <- domain
alias of dom1
I dont use that much that qmail-newu command but qmail-newmrh I use that
almost every day to add domains to our front end smtp servers (scanners)
If you are interested look at the vpopmail source package and
vadddomain.c or vaddaliasdomain.c
you ll understand what files are modified when you add or remove a domain
and if you just want your smtp to accept mail for a specific domain but
to deliver mail to another machine, that domain must be added to only
one file
but that's another subject

Hi Philip,
Thanks for the tip... but I didn't understand it. Can you elaborate?
Thanks,

Hello
assign is an editable file (but be careful what you do with it)
then the command qmail-newu builds a cdb binary file called cdb

I'm not really clear about what you're trying to accomplish. There are 2
other places though (other than the sql database) where your domains are
defined. One is the /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains, and the other is
/var/qmail/users/assign. The later has a cdb file associated with it that's
a little tricky to get generated IIRC. You might need to add/delete a dummy
domain to get the assign.cdb file rebuilt.

In that case, I think you can simply remove the domain from the
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file. See
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Rcpthosts
I'd do that with qmail stopped to be on the safe side (I see a
corresponding
.lock file).

Hi Eric (Long time no talk!),
But I don't want to delete the domain... I still have emails I want to
have access to ...

Hi,
I decided that I don't want to maintain my own mail server and I
want
to let another service handle this for me.
Notice, I have several domains, and this decision has been made for
just one of them, not all.
I've setup everything but local emails (ie. emails that are being
sent
from the local cron or other tasks sending to the local server on
the
old mail server.
What exactly do I need to do, so that all the local email being sent
to this domain, don't go to the old server but get forwarded to my
ISP
and then to my new host for my mail server?
Thanks in advance!
