Sach, looking over the Life With Qmail doc,
it has a section:
It's not quite what we are looking for, at least the example it gives
isn't, but what we can try is putting
highpointlowlife.com:thorsten
in the /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file.
Read over below, and see if ya think it fits...
3.4. Virtual domains
Virtual domains are similar to the multiple host names discussed in the
previous section, but there are some important differences. First, if
example.net hosts the virtual domain virtual.example.com, it's generally
not true that messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will end up in the same
mailbox as messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The namespace for
each virtual domain is distinct.
With qmail, virtual domains are configured in the virtualdomains file,
which consists of one or more entries of the form:
user@domain:prepend
qmail converts user@domain to prepend-user@domain and treats the result as
if domain was local. The user@ part is optional. If it's omitted, the
entry matches all @domain addresses.
Returning to the example scenario above, if the example.net mail
administrator wanted to create a virtual domain, virtual.example.com,
under the administrative control of user john, the following entry in
virtualdomains would accomplish that:
virtual.example.com:john
An incoming message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be rewritten as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and delivered locally. See the .qmail
section, and the extension addresses subsection for more information about
how john can manage his virtual domain.
As with multiple host names, all virtual domains must be listed in
rcpthosts so qmail-smtpd will know to accept messages addressed to them.
However, unlike multiple host names, virtual domains must not be added to
locals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Domain name server (DNS) mail exchanger (MX) records must be set up
to direct messages for virtual domains to the appropriate mail server.
This is a job for the name server administrator and is beyond the scope of
this guide.
