 Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2007 6:54 am Post subject: mail forwarding with qmail |
 |
|
Hi all,
I installed both vpopmail and qmail on my gentoo apache server.
And created domains using vpopmail. Now I want mail forwarding feature using .qmail.
Basically I am a java programmer. I read man dot-qmail and man qmail-local but it confuses me a lot.
My requirement is as below ,
I have a domain in vpopmail and its up and can see using browser (for eg: http://example.com)
If I send mail to any of email account on this domain, then it should forward to my gmail account.
If anybody knows the solution please help me.
Thank you,
Reeja. |

Each virtual domain should have a corresponding directory, e.g.
/var/vpopmail/domains/example.com
There should be already a .qmail file.

Hi-
If you'd like to setup forwarding for an individual user you can do this:
| Code: | | echo "&myusername@anotherdomain.com" > /var/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/myusername/.qmail |
if the user would like his/her email to go to 2 different external addresses you can do this:
| Code: | | echo "&myusername@yetanotherdomain.com" >> /var/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/myusername/.qmail |
if the user would like his/her email to go to 3 different external addresses you can do this after doing steps 1 and 2 above
| Code: | | echo "&myusername@differentdomain.com" >> /var/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/myusername/.qmail |
If you want to do this coding with Java. You can use the Java File class to read the file and edit it as necessary.
Cheers, |
