RE: Qmail source files - developer version
I am already doing that to catch bounces passing my server, but what will it help me ? I don't want to forward a copy of the original e-mail to another server, I want to send normally to the locals, and forward one with the rest of recipients. Now then I think about it, I may implement this externally, processing the copy of the original message, but : 1. How do I make qmail not to send messages to external recipients (and in the same time I have to get a copy of original e-mail with all recipients)? 2. In the same time, if I make qmail not to send mail to external recipients (quietly !!!), how can i send the externally modified message (in which the local recipients are already removed) so it would be still sent as one message ? I could use telnet to the forwarding server port 25 and just spill the message there, but I hope there is a better way ...

Just take the qmail-smtpd sources and write a new smtpd. Felix
Qmail source files - developer version
Maybe I am asking on the wrong forum, but boes anybody know, if there is a "developer" version of qmail sources with at lease some remarks and functionality description in the code so it would be more readable ? Or if there is a site that has some description on the way qmail is written. I want to write an addon to qmail, so it could forward mail to another server before it hits the queve, splitted to several copies, one for each recipient domain. I think many could benefit from this feature, in terms of bandwidth conservation. Alex Incredimail Admin __Created and best viewed with IncrediMail!Get your free copy at: www.incredimail.com
