Hi,
I was wondering if there were any add-ons to qmail for doing selective
POP3 redirection. I have found that using a package called netpipes,
running under tcpserver, I am able to achieve total redirection from one
server to another, but what about selectively ?
I had thought about storing username:hostname pairs in a file or
database, and writing a wrapper which would run qmail-popup (etc.) if
the user was local, or running netpipes if the user was remote, in order
to hand them off to the correct server (the server where their mail is
sitting). This does not seem as straightforward as I would like though.
The other idea I have would be to modify qmail-pop3d somehow, so that
when authentication had been done under checkpassword on the main mail
server, a session could then be established with a remote server.
Does anyone else have any existing code , or other ideas about how I
might be able to achieve this ?
The "rationale" for doing this is that if I have to migrate from one
server to another, I want to be able to provide a transparant service to
users, whilst moving mailboxes.
Thanks for any help.
