Hi there, I'm extremely new to Qmail and installed it today to replace the
mail server on my primary server as well as use the install for the basis
for an article I'm writing. Even though the install was pretty wierd, I
managed to make my way through it. =)
A few questions, however, and I'm hoping I get back some good answers
otherwise I really have to think long and hard about how I'm going to
accomplish what I need to do.
I have two scenarios that may be accomplishable the same way. The first
one, I have a sub-domain that I want to use for my telnet BBS, which has
it's own SMTP server. The main server takes [EMAIL PROTECTED],
whereas the BBS has traditionally used [EMAIL PROTECTED] The BBS
SMTP daemon is listening to port 1025. My old SMTP server forward
*@bbs.freezer-burn.org to bbs.freezer-burn.org:1025 (basically the same
as localhost:1025). Is there a way to do this with Qmail? Can I do a
catch-all forward for a subdomain to a SMTP server on the same machine but
listening on a different port?
Another question that is sort of similar is I have a client that I host
web pages for, so their domain name points to my server and Apache handles
the virtualization, etc. etc. However, they want to setup their own mail
server on one of their machines but keep me hosting their web pages (don't
ask, I don't understand it myself). Is there a way I can forward all mail
to thisdomain.com to a remote IP address? Same as above, forward
*@thisdomain.com to, say, 192.168.1.1 (or whatever IP address they are
using). Is this possible?
My final question, and this might be off topic here, has to do with the
ezmlm program. Is there a way to have a subscriber who doesn't get back
the messages he writes on a per-user basis? Ie. I have a robot that sends
mail to a mailing list and I don't want mail going back to it because
it'll just resend it to the list and I've got a vicious circle on my
hands. All other users I would want to have their messages echoed back to
them. Is this possible somehow as well?
On the whole, I'm struggling with it a little bit, but I think I should be
able to switch over to Qmail fulltime shortly and really like the program.
