I would probably just setup a forward with the 2 addresses, and redirect
the first line to the forward.

Yes, but it's a bug in your .qmail-default file, of your own making.

.qmail-default is a set of instructions telling qmail how to deliver
messages. qmail does what you tell it to: if you tell it to run the
vdelivermail program twice, it runs it twice.

vdelivermail also does what it's told to do: if you tell it to deliver a
message and it can, it will - even if another copy of the message has
already been delivered.

So, don't put vdelivermail into .qmail-default twice. Instead, set up
an address which forwards to two addresses. Then put that address at the
end of a single vdelivermail command in .qmail-default.


hope this helps,

Did you ever try to put in this .qmail-default a second line when,
for example, all umatched mail to a domain should be delivered to
two adresses? Well, what happens is, that every matched address
will get suddenly two identical emails. Is this a bug?

For instance, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be sent to the local address
joeuser@[EMAIL PROTECTED] - probably not what you intended.

See the section on virtualdomains in the manual page for qmail-send:

I'd give a try adding the domain to /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts and adding a
line to /var/qmail/control/smtproutes like

example.com:[ip-of-real-destination-host]

or

example.com:exchange-server.customer.com

HUPing qmail-send (either svc -h /service/qmail or killall -HUP qmail-send)
and the work should be done.

RE: Catch all account!

[Troy Settle]

Sounds good, but I don't know all the usernames in the target domain, nor
would I want to add/remove users as my customer adds/removes users.

In regexp format, here's what I need:

  (.*)@test.com:\\1@remotedomain

I've had people suggest the use of vaddaliasdomain, but not every aliased
domain will be for local delivery.

Are there other environment variables besides $LOCAL that are set that I
might be able to use?  What about using a regexp in .qmail-default?

Try $EXT instead. (The manual page for qmail-command lists several more

Yes:

# set up the forwarding instruction
echo '| forward "$EXT2@remotedomain"' > ~alias/.qmail-domain-default

# tell qmail where to find it
echo domain:alias-domain >> /var/qmail/control/virtualhosts
svc -h /service/qmail

# allow messages to be received
echo domain >> /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts

I've not tested this, but I think it should work. (Except for the domain
names, of course!)

Of course you can avoid all this if the remote server is configured
to accept mail for the original domain: then you can just change DNS.

Add this line to /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:
test.com:joeuser@remotedomain

This will forward all mail for test.com to the mail account "joeuser@remotedomain"

RE: Catch all account!

[Troy Settle]

What about forwarding all mail to another domain, but keeping the $LOCAL
value?

The qmail faq says this in .qmail-default:

| forward "$LOCAL@remotedomain"

But this does not work, as $LOCAL = "domain-user"

I'd actually prefer to not even have the domain created within vpopmail or a
local account on the machine.  Is there a simple way to do this with just
the files in /var/qmail/ ?

TIA,

If you want *all* mail for the "test.com" to be forwarded to another
account
put this in /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/.qmail-default:
&user@remotedomain

If you want only unmatching emails to go there, put this:
