So let me know the procedure to create a alise account which will count all mails in quota including that comes on aliased id. Create a forward instead of an alias.

The Forwards in vpopmail appear to allow only ONE acc't to forward to. After creating a forward, go to the page that lists all forwards for that domain. Find the forward that you want to have multiple recipients and click the 'modify' icon. You should now see a page with an option to 'add forward' - this will add a recipient to the current forward.

[vchkpw] vpopmail::adddomain problem
Hello, I'm using qmail 1.03 coupled with vpopmail 5.2.1 on a Red Hat 7.2 machine. I experience some access rights problems with vpopmail when I execute vadddomain. It returns an error code (240) and the message Can not make domains directory. I suppose the inner directories of qmail can't be accessed by my user and I don't want to use root to do this. I saw something about this problem in the FAQ of vpopmail (item 35) but it doesn't worked for me... I'm kind of lost here (plus I'm new to unix), so if anybody has a suggestion / solution, it'd be most helpful ! Flubb.

RE: [vchkpw] forward emails to remote users for local domain
Thanks for your email Davis, But the problem is, I don't have any other domain, users that are not local on my local qmail server have their own POP accounts for the domain on MX server for this domain which is hosted at our data center in US. Look at the scenario below [EMAIL PROTECTED] Local POP User on my local qmail server with domain mydomain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Remote POP User on MX server for this domain located at US data center I want that when [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] then this mail should be forwarded to the internet so that it can be reached at the MX server for the domain mydomain.com where [EMAIL PROTECTED] has a POP box.

RE: [vchkpw] forward emails to remote users for local domain
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is what I would do (if they were all qmail vpopmail machines): (this is a UGLY hack... but it'd probably work) emailserver1.mydomain.com MX (emailserver1) account: user1 emailserver2.mydomain.com MX (emailserver2) account: user2 emailserver3.mydomain.com MX (emailserver3) account: user3 if they are all vpopmail do as follows: each domain has a primary domain of mydomain.com and aliased domain (computer1.mydomain.com e.g. if it was computer1) put in into computer1 .qmail-default |if [ $HOST -eq mydomain.com ]; then $LOCAL@computer2.mydomain.com; fi |if [ $HOST -eq mydomain.com ]; then $LOCAL@computer3.mydomain.com; fi That way you would only forward original emails (and not in a loop) no where would a message from a different machine computer ever end up back at the beginning... you'd would end up with the message going to both machines but maybe with a little more though one could eliminate this. The above item I'm sure WILL NOT WORK as syntax is wrong and I didn't put a lot of thought to it... you'd probably want to offload it to a shell script and put some decent thought into how you want to handle bounces and other things just an idea, or you could do it like I do currently on my machine, two servers (well 3 actually), but just run unison to sync the directories.

What's wrong with making a .qmail file in the user's directory for each non-local [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the format of something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]? This .qmail file would go in /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/user1/. If you want a nice GUI interface for it, use qmailadmin (I'm using 1.2.1, so I know it supports it, probably some older versions too).

And since I want to execute the program from a web page, it'll be executed with apache privileges, which aren't root. Sounds like the FAQ should be updated. You won't be able to get apache to run vadddomain. The current ways to get apache to run it are to build a cgi program, like vqadmin, that runs setuid root. Or to use the new vpopmaild (vpopmail daemon) and have it add the domain for you. Ken Jones
