No, but you could create ~alias/.qmail-group-default, then you could
send mail to group-sports, like this:
|perl -e 'exec "forward ".((getgrnam($ENV{EXT2}))[3]);'

Group Emailing w/qmail
From: Bill Parker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2000 10:25:00 -0700 Hi All, Does something like a group e-mail exist in qmail, example group is sports in sports group is: larry, mike, pete, greg The conventional term is "mailing list" or "distribution list." so sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would deliver to all of those people... Put their addresses in ~alias/.qmail-sports, one per line. For further details, do "man dot-qmail". Note that this allows anyone on the planet to send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is this something handled on the client end, or with qmail Could be either. Or neither; for large lists, mailing list management programs such as ezmlm (see http://www.ezmlm.org/) are more robust and easier to maintain. -- Bob Rogers

If it's a static list which never changes i imagine it's possible to use a .qmail-sports or something for this. Greetz, Steffan -- http://therookie.dyndns.org
