HI,
I will explain ght eproblem with an example...
I have a domain called foo.com . Till now all the users of this domain were
at a remote location and my main qmail server on the internet was delivering
the mail to the this remote server. Till now the configuration that i had
done was just to add an entry in the SMTPROUTES file that all mail for this
domain shold be forwarded /relayed to this remote server.
Now the scenario is such that i would like to create POP users on my
main server for this domain . POP users also will have the same nomenclature
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Now what happens is that when i create this user as pop , the
qmail system does not recognise this user and the mail gets lost. I need to
understand why the mail is not getting delivered to the mailbox of that pop
user. We have not defined this domain in the locals file. If we do so , only
pop will work and the relaying will stop working...
I need to understand what is the priority hierarchy in qmail. i.e what does
qmail check first , locals, smtproutes, pop user... what????
Also please send a solution to the same if it is possible without
changeing any settings in the remote server. we can change the settings of
the remote server to accept all mails for location.foo.com and the system
will work . But without doing so , please give a solution .
Thanks in advance.
