If the server that accepts mail for macalester.edu can be convinced to accept mail for somehost.macalester.edu, you can use vpopmail and qmailadmin to accomplish your goals. Make sure [EMAIL PROTECTED] is working correctly before modifying your gateway system. Stop qmail-smtpd and qmail-send before doing any of this, to make sure you get it set up right. You're going to add macalester.edu as a vpopmail domain on your gateway system. Change the catchall to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. If you're using qmailadmin, you can just enter @somehost.macalester.edu as the catchall email address, and it will automatically set it up. Here's the feature request on that undocumented feature: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detailaid=910410group_id=6691atid=356691 Remove the entry from smtproutes. At this point, you might be able to start qmail-send (leaving qmail-smtpd off) and use qmail-inject to inject a test message. Watch the logs to make sure it gets through. If so, you can start qmail-smtpd back up. Now, add aliases for the addresses you want forwarded elsewhere. Use QmailAdmin, or just create a .qmail-user45 file in the domain directory. If an alias exists, the email will be forwarded. If it doesn't exist, it will go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You'll probably also want to modify the postmaster user to have its mail get forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you really want to be safe, you could add the domain as test.com first, make sure everything works (using qmail-inject, or manually telnetting to port 25 on localhost) before doing it with the real domain. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vpopmail - virtual domains for qmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ QmailAdmin - web interface for Vpopmail: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

RE: [vchkpw] Forwarding....
I didn't follow your thread before, but this is all elementary qmail configuration. What was the problem? Are you familiar with qmailadmin, because it does all of this for you through a compiled CGI GUI (soon to be PHP-based, with a little luck). -Original Message- From: Bill Sappington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 11:10 AM To: 'vpopmail list' Subject: [vchkpw] Forwarding Ok so after wading through documentation that didn;t document so very damn well, and the snide remarks from a few people on this list and suffering through the whole It was hard to write so it should be hard to use attitude this works for forwarding. The following assumes a standard Qmail install on Linux, a standard install of Vpopmail. Standard install will create: /home/vpopmail/domains Within the domains directory a sub-driectory for each domain you put onto the system is created it: New Domain = MyNewDomain.Com So you will have the following directory structure: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com for the obligitory postmaster you will have: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/postmaster within the above you will have /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/postmaster/MailDir within Maildir you will have three directories: new, cur tmp *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= THE DEFAULT FORWARD *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Create a user for the domain MyNewDomain.com, ie: 'info' and you will have: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/info/MailDir within Maildir you will have three directories: new, cur tmp within the directory: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com execute the ls -all command and you will see the file '.qmail-default'. This file handles all e-mail comming to this domain that has no valid destination. The contents of this file are: | /home/vpopmain/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce To make all e-mail without a valid destination in MyNewDomain.com go to a specific user, replace the word 'bounce' with the fully qualified address of the person you want it to go to. This can be ANYONE! Inside or outside your domain. So suppose you want all e-mail with no valid destination at MyNewDomain.com to go to your mailbox on hotmail.com change the line to look like this: | /home/vpopmain/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the Catch All! *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= THE INDIVIDUAL FORWARD *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= To forward for a specific user create a file in the DOMAIN directory: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com name it .qmail-[user name of the person in this domain for which you would like to do forwarding] So in the above example, I have a domain called 'MyNewDomain.com' and a user named 'info'. If I want to forward ALL e-mail for the user 'info' to my hotmail address I would use a text editor such as pico since its very simple to use and execute the following command: pico /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/.qmail-info Then add the following to the file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Save the file and I have just created the forwarding rule for the individual user. = end

Re: [vchkpw] Forwarding....
Hi Bill, So what I would like to know is about setting a forwarder for a particular user of a domain. There does not seem to be a reference in the documentation; however, I could be blind and stupid. Forwardings are handled by qmail-local before vpopmail drops in. They're well documented by Life with qmail: http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#dot-qmail-files http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#extension-addresses http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#aliases the .qmail-default file seems to alude to this via the empty set, ie: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete No. is then | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The correct syntax to forward ??? No. Uh-oh, never start fiddling around with such trials. This is Unix; you need to read the documentation to solve problems. If things are not in the docs, we're here to help. :) Jonas
