Distinct user@domain routing
I run a qmail server that handles mail for 8 domains, all of which are in my rcpthosts and locals files. It works fine, but I'd like to have a bit more control over specific user@domain combinations. Currently, sending mail to kevin at any of the 8 domains works fine, and the mail is delivered to /var/spool/mail/kevin. I'd like to set up some aliases that behave differently depending on the domain. I'd like to be able to specify, for example, that [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets sent to one user, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to another user. If I make an ~alias/.qmail-foo file, then anything sent to foo, at any of our domains, goes to foo's mailbox. I've been RTFMing all morning. Ideas? - Kevin DeGraaf

If you want separate namespaces, those domains should be virtual, not local. See the qmail documentation and FAQ.

If it's only necessary to separate some aliases he could also put these addresses into virtualdomains and handle them differently. If the setup is very static it's a simpler approach. Regards, Frank
