Not without writing a patch. Qmail's method is more extensive and
flexible than sendmail's, anyhow.

No. The difference between simply forwarding an e-mail on to another
server and saving it locally is a little larger than it may appear.

Well, believe it or not, Kirill's suggestion doesn't make the server
`act as a popserver'. A popserver stores the mail for later
retrieval. The .qmail* files decide what happens to e-mail, not
necessarily where it is stored. Think about it. In simple terms, qmail
receives an e-mail. The domain name it is addressed to (in RCPT TO) is
not in locals, so it checks virtualdomains. It finds the domain there,
and forwards it on to prefix-domain-user locally. qmail then sees that
there is a .qmail file in ~prefix called .qmail-domain-default. It
then carries out the `commands' in this file which reroute the mail
again. So, in essence, the mail is never `stored' anywhere but gets
forwarded along a line. I think you will find that the time taken to
get one message from the outside world to the final user would be in
the...hmmm...let me think...seconds degree I would think?
