Ok, got the serialmail package installed.
First, how to force all f-tech.net mail into a single Maildir:
in virtualdomains I added f-tech.net:ftech (a user who has a maildir)
restart qmail, nada.
How do I get the mail to dump into that users maildir? I added a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 29 22:49 .qmail-default
and restarted, nada.
And after they all dump into the maildir, what is the cmd to get
maildirsmtp to go? Looked at the man page and, well, didn't help. It
seems that I would have to type in the envelope's prefix (username) for
each message to send? Yikes!
