Hmmm I don't remember anyone answering your question. Basically, the answer is "yes". When mail comes in to a virtualdomain, it's controlled by the right-hand side. Let's say that mail for example.com is controlled by alias-example. And let's also say that all users @example.com should be delivered to example.crynwr.com. You'd do it like this: ~alias/.qmail-example-default would contain: |forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" -- -russ nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | "Ask not what your country 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | can force other people to Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | do for you..." -Perry M.

If that ends up being handled by ~alias/.qmail-virtual-vdomain-default, then $DEFAULT is user, i.e. the address with virtual-vdomain stripped off. If the address wound up being handled by .qmail-virtual-default, then $DEFAULT would have been vdomain-user. It's the portion of the address that matches the -default part of the .qmail-... file.

That'll deliver the mail locally. If you want to do that, just make it a local domain. I don't think that's what you want to do. If all mail for this domain is to be sent off to some other server, just list the domain in rcpthosts, remove it from locals and virtualdomains, and put: vdomain.foo:mailserver.for.vdomain.foo in control/smtproutes. Unless I misunderstand your original question, this is all you need to do. Chris

Unless I misunderstand your original question, this is all you need to do. It was not my original question. But the thread was useful to me because I have a setup with a mailserver handling several domains and every user is a local one. I have set up virtualdomains in the described way to handle them. But $DEFAULT would just do it, too. Greetings -- Robert Sander www.gurubert.de
