I am already doing that to catch bounces passing my server, but what will it
help me ? I don't want to forward a copy of the original e-mail to another
server, I want to send normally to the locals, and forward one with the rest
of recipients. Now then I think about it, I may implement this externally,
processing the copy of the original message, but :
1. How do I make qmail not to send messages to external recipients (and in
the same time I have to get a copy of original e-mail with all recipients)?
2. In the same time, if I make qmail not to send mail to external recipients
(quietly !!!), how can i send the externally modified message (in which the
local recipients are already removed) so it would be still sent as one
message ? I could use telnet to the forwarding server port 25 and just spill
the message there, but I hope there is a better way ...
Alex.

Whoa, whoa, let's not get too excited here. Before you go
rewriting, you should read FAQ 8.2:
] 8.2. How do I keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing mail messages?
]
] Answer: Set QUEUE_EXTRA to "Tlog\0" and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in extra.h.
] Recompile qmail. Put ./msg-log into ~alias/.qmail-log.
Using this to forward copies however you want is left as a
straightforward exercise for the reader. 'man dot-qmail' will be helpful.
