Hi Joel,
Actually, I already tried what you suggested, and it didn't work (which
is why I posted on the mailing list). What happens is when qmail hits
.qmail-user1, it will rewrite the receiver's email address according to
the instructions in that file. So, [EMAIL PROTECTED], will hit
.qmail-user-default (not .qmail-user), and the receiptor will be
rewritten as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which takes away the user-email
account I wanted to reach in the first place).
I'm wondering if the solution is not to put all the domains I want in
the "locals" file in /var/qmail/control.
Any reasons why this shouldn't be done? Only restrictions seem to be
that someone in domain1 can't have the same username as domain2
