My exisisting system is sendmail based, and I want to convert to qmail.

my current setup is as follows.
FreeBSD + sendmail 8.8.8. ( we are upgrading to FreeBSD 4.0 )

I currently have virtusertables, ( Kmaildomains hash /etc/mailtable.db ) 
where;   

[EMAIL PROTECTED]    joe
something.com        tom
whatever.net         fred

these are converted into a table, via makemap hash ( not /etc/alias )

so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to user joe
everything else at something.com goes to user tom
anything at whatever.net goes to user fred.

After this, the users .forward file in invoked, ( if found )
and, this calls procmail for most of the users on the server.
the users .procmailrc file is read, and mail is delivered as per the
procmail recipies.

the .forward looks like this.

"|IFS=' ' &&p=/usr/local/bin/procmail&&test -f $p&&exec $p -Yf-||exit 75
#joe"

What I would like to do, is continue to use a similar method for all my
users, so that they can convert to the .qmail method, at their leisure.
( or mine! )

I dont mind using a .qmail file to replace the .forward, as long as I
can still call procmail, with the users .procmailrc file, so that things
work as is for now.
If I were to do this in a .qmail file, what would it look like?

The documentation seems a bit spread out, with bits and peices here and
there and I am not exactly sure which peices I need to do this. 
(fastforward, dot-forward, etc. )  

Also, I would prefer to use the default $HOME/Mail for the mail storage,
as long as it does not affect the hundreds of users, who user a number
of various mail software to access our POP servers...  ( Exchange,
Netscape, etc. ) 

Any words of wisdom along these lines would be greatly appreciated.

Many, many thanks in advance.

Blaine
