locals question
Hi all, we have here a central mailhub, mail.mm-packaging.com. This host treats mail to mm-packaging.com and mail.mm-.. as local. Now I also listed it as preferred MX for two domains that are www-only, but since postmaster@ must work, I put these domains into locals, as well. Now postmaster mails for these domains also get to me. My question: how do I prevent delivery to all other recipients for which a .qmail file exists? example: I want the machine to accept mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] but not for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (one www domain) regards Wolfgang Rupp Network Administrator Mayr-Melnhof Packaging GmbH Floragasse 7/6 A-1040 Wien Tel: +43-1-50257-238 Fax: +43-1-50257-260

If I understand correctly, this should fix it: put the www-only domains into $QMAILHOMEDIR/control/virtualdomains, get them out of locals. Map them to one specific user in virtualdomains, and there you handle it bu using .qmail files. Your local users will never get mail for these domains. Of course, give qmail-send a -HUP after finishing... Grtz, Arjen.

Actually, a better solution would be to do the following: in virtualdomains: domain1.com:alias-null domain2.com:alias-null in ~alias/.qmail-null-default put a single hash (#) mark. Like arjen said, remove the domains from locals and send qmail-send a HUP. --Adam
Summary: locals question
Thank you for the quick response. After arjen's and Adam's suggestions, I did the following: - take the www-domains out of locals - virutaldomains: foo.com:alias-foo - created $QMAILDIR/alias/.qmail-foo-postmaster And I did not create a .qmail-foo-default with #, because I need valid bounces. I can't let the machine ack a message and then send it to /dev/null. cheers Wolfgang Rupp Network Administrator Mayr-Melnhof Packaging GmbH Floragasse 7/6 A-1040 Wien Tel: +43-1-50257-238 Fax: +43-1-50257-260
