Fw: Qmail 1.03

2000-09-02 Thread Bob Ross

OK, correct me if I'm wrong. In the .qmail file that is in every user home
directory, I add the line [EMAIL PROTECTED]

their real address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

or do I put this in the first line of that file. Or did I totally miss this.

Thanks

  I have never had to do this before. Our new billing software does not
work
  if we have "." dots in the user name.
 
  I need to remove the dots in the software but have qmail deliver the un
  doted mail for those few users to their doted Mail address.
 
  How do I do this.
 
  Thanks

 basically what you want to do is add a file called .qmail-stjohns to
 /var/qmail/alias, the contents of which would be:
 st.johns

 That must be on the first line. What will happen is when a mail is sent to
 [EMAIL PROTECTED], qmail will search for the user, see that it doesn't
 exist and pass the message on to the alias user. If the alias user can't
 find the appropriate file, the message is bounced. However, when you put
 this file there, it will route the message to the st.johns user and go
with
 whatever instructions are in the ~st.johns/.qmail file, probably putting
it
 into the accounts $HOME/Maildir/
