Greetings!
I am in process of configuring a brand-new
Courier-MTA. My old server, running Qmail, is currently overwhelmed, but is
still in use.
I am working on moving my users from having their
mailboxes on the old server to the new server.
When I had everyone on the one machine, they could
all easily e-mail each other.
So far I have found it easy to forward
mail for individual users who have been migrated from the old server to the new
one.
However: I am currently having difficulty trying to
find out how to tell Courier to forward mail destined for Unknown Local users
back to the old server, instead of flat out saying "User Unknown" and rejecting
the mail.
I need to do this to allow those users whom have
had their mailboxes moved from the old system onto the new one still be able to
communicate with those users whom are still on the old server.
To Illustrate:
The New server, which handles foobar.com, has the
new mailboxes for users Jax, Steve, and Mary. The Old server, which Also handles
foobar.com, still has accounts for Jax, Steve, Mary, and also the unmigrated
users Joe, Richard, Kyle, James, and Bill. The Old server is simply forwarding
messages destined for Jax, Steve, and Mary to their respective mailboxes on the
new server via a .forward file that is set into their account upon migration.
Because of this, Richard can still easily send Jax a message as the old server
will just send the message along to the new server. However, because the
unmigrated users do not yet have an account on the new server, if Jax attempts
to respond to Richard, he is Immediately greeted with a "User Unknown" error as,
rightfully, the user does not yet exist on the new machine.
Thus, I am looking for a way to tell Courier that,
If it cannot find the specified user on This New machine, to please forward
it to the old server.
Otherwise I'm looking at being forced to create
mailboxes on the new server and an appropriate .forward file for everyone all in
one go before I can even attempt to start migrating people.
Any assistance with this would be greatly
appreciated!
Ray
