Hi blip ;)
Place these "same user name" domains in qmail/control/virtualdomains as
qmail reads the ~/local file first! Remove any domains from ~/locals that
you are putting into qmail/control/virtualdomains or it wont work
Create lines such as this in var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
mydomain.com:mydomaincom
herdomain.com:herdomaincom
user mydomaincom now controls the mail for mydomain.com
I use the same name as the domain less the "dots" to see real easily
what's going on in the qmail/alias directory and to avoid a real user with
that name in etc/passwd or elsewhere.
In var/qmail/alias
touch .qmail-mydomaincom-sales
touch .qmail-mydomaincom-info
touch .qmail-mydomaincom-jim
touch .qmail-herdomaincom-sales
touch .qmail-herdomaincom-info
touch .qmail-herdomaincom-jim
place in each file your forward address such as
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Use innocuous domains and send the tests to yourself to start it off.
Call me if you want to see the setup on our name server.
