I configure forwarding using lines like these:
echo \&exampleu...@example.local | sudo -u vpopmail -H tee
/home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/exampleuser/.qmail
chmod 600 /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/example/.qmail
This script usually runs in the context of some user other than
vpopmail, so I use sudo tee to get the text from the echo command into
the .qmail file.
These lines produce a .qmail file with the following content:
&exampleu...@example.local
This is the only content in the .qmail file. There is no CR or LF at
the end of the line.
Hi,
That's what I did. Actually I configured one domain through the
qmailadmin interface and then copied the newly created .qmail files to
the other domains.
It turns out qmailadmin creates two files :
- in the domain.com folder, there is a .qmail-postmaster-default file
- in the domain.com/postmaster, there is a .qmail file
Both files are identical and contain the forwarding command as above.
I don't know why the .qmail-postmaster-default is created but it seems
mandatory. This doesn't seem to be documented.
Regards,
Pierre
Please document it on the wiki, Pierre. Let me know if you can't find an
appropriate place to put it. Thanks.
I expect that the default file is needed in case it gets changed, so it
can revert to the default setting. That's just a guess, but seems
logical.
The User Tips & Tricks section seems appropriate but maybe it would be
more logical to write a small article on redirection in general (not
restricted to redirecting postmaster's mail).
User T&T is getting pretty crowded (which is a good thing I suppose).
This is more of a fundamental thing, so I created a Redirection section
on the Configuration page. If you'd write a bit about redirection in
general there, that'd be great. Might want to include a link to taps
there as well.
Over the internet, I found a lot of ressources explaining the .qmail
functioning but, from what I recall, noone mentioned the
.qmail-postmaster-default.
Huh. You can be the first then. :) Probably need to play with it a bit
to be sure what it's used for.
