An easier way to do this that works is to create ~alias/.qmail-default
and insert | forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (your inside mailserver)
which will forward all mail it does
not know about to the inside server. Then you have create a .qmail file
for local users to the server and forward mail to the inside server.
Then make sure ~/qmail/control/locals has the domain that it will
accept mail for instead of just forwarding ,then create aliases for the
internal names and pipe to bitbucket. Just did
it and it works like a charm..
