Strange. I setup my forwarder as suggested below but it appears qmail
will not allow the following situation:
.qmail-puzzlebox-bobo
contains text: joshp
where joshp is a /etc/passwd account on the mail system.
if( bobo != bobo )
.. do not deliver mail
else
.. deliver
All I need to do is take the 5 billion alias's these people think up for
their domains and selectively send them to a physical account. I use
pine, so I'm not sure if vpop will work. I actually installed vpop, and
qmail admin. Unfortunately, it's not a 'out of the box solution' for
OpenBSD 2.5 , but what is. It doesn't appear to setup alias's or forwards
successfully.
Thanks for your help / patience :)
