Alright. Since this is the case, open2web.com is a good candidate for a virtual domain. However, you don't have to make it one. Just be aware that any email addresses in the open2web.com domain that you want TMDA to handle should be configured using users/assign. Any addresses that you don't need an extension part for can be handled in ~alias. > OK, so the plan is as follows: > > cat "#" > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-nobody > > rm /home/o2w/.qmail-nobody > rm /home/o2w/.qmail-o2w-nobody Looks good. > The reason I have .qmail-nobody and .qmail-o2w-nobody in /home/o2w > is based on another thread wherein someone posted the following: > >>>>>For example, system wide I have a file: >>>>> >>>>>[machine]:~# cat /etc/qmail/alias/.qmail-nobody >>>>># >>>>> >>>>>And in my personal account I have: >>>>> >>>>>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> cat .qmail-nobody >>>>># >>>>> >>>>>For each of my domains I created a symlink: >>>>> >>>>>[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ls -l .qmail-stassart-nobody >>>>>lrwxrwxrwx 1 user group 13 Nov 13 10:27 .qmail-stassart-nobody -> .qmail-nobody >>>>> >>>>>This creates a dropped e-mail address for each of my domains. > > I may have misunderstood his post, but that's why I came up with > > cat /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-nobody > # > > cd o2w > > cat .qmail-nobody > # > > cat .qmail-o2w-nobody > # > > ls -l .qmail-o2w-nobody > .qmail-o2w-nobody -> .qmail-nobody I suspect that he was using a virtual domain, so the 'nobody' address was being delivered to 'user'. In order to handle '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', he had to use a ~user/.qmail-nobody file and, since he had more than one virtual domain, it was easiest to link every domain's 'nobody' address to the one file in ~alias. Since you're not using virtual domains, that's just an unneeded extra step. > Again, thanks for your help. Absolutely!
