What problem does this solve that a virtualdomain does not? Yes,

If aI have only [EMAIL PROTECTED], then I would do it this way
with an entry in virtualdomains like his.virtual.domin:someuser or alike.
But I have (virtually ;-) a big network of hosts, and everyone has the
same users (over NIS). I think it is more easier with one line in locals
like ^(.*\.){0,1}mydomain.net$ than the construct mentioned above.

Re: locals and regex
Hi! So this must be worked out in the docs, or? Greetings -- Robert Sander "Is it Friday yet?" @Home http://home.pages.de/~gurubert pgp available there
/var/qmail/control/locals and regex
Hi! I made a patch to qmail-1.02 to have regular expressions in .../control/locals. This avoids the need to put every host in the local domain into that file. I think it is stable, but Your mileage may vary. I haven't testet it under heavy load, it depends on how fast the regexec function is. Maybe it could be faster than the old hash-function when dealing with a large amount of hostnames, but I am not sure. Now case ignoring extended regular expression are allowed in locals. And if you prepend a regular expression with "!", it is negated. Order is now important, the first match counts. Doing it this way you can have a general regex for your domain and before that a special one excepting some hostnames. Please send any comments to me via personal mail. P.S.: my SYSTYPE is linux-2.2.12-:i386-:-:ppro-:- Greetings -- Robert Sander "Is it Friday yet?" @Home http://home.pages.de/~gurubert pgp available there qmail_regex.tar.gz
