This works here, but there are many ways to skin a cat.
Login to the system (root)
Go to the home directory
# cd /uhome/johnqdoe
# sudo -u johnqdoe vi .qmail
add the following lines to the .qmail file to forward his mail
## Forward mail offsite
|forward [EMAIL PROTECTED]
## but still deliver locally
/uhome/johnqdoe/Mailbox
When Johnqdoe wants the mail to stop being forwarded to hotmail, just delete
the .qmail file.

Subject: need to forward to 2 addresses
On a UNIX box with BSDi 4.0, Apache, QMail and FP (though FP is not involved
in this issue) I have the following problem:
My customer needs to have email forwarded to her in Germany as well as to
her farm manager here in the states. I have been researching all I could
find on the subject and have gotten close, but not there yet. In the man
pages I found the following:
forward(1)
DESCRIPTION
forward forwards each new mail message to the specified
list of addresses.
dot-qmail.0
(3) A forward line begins with an ampersand:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Although it clearly states that it can be done, there is no mention of how
to set up the second forwarding address. I think what I have below is the
proper procedure for _one_ forwarding address.
echo "blackvengeance.com:alias-blackvengeance"
>>/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
echo "&forwardaddress" >~alias/.qmail-blackvengeance-info
echo "blackvengeance.com" >>/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts'
My questiion is: do I add the second, comma separated, in that last echo
line as: 'echo
"&forwardaddress",'&secondforward">~alias/.qmail-blackvengeance-info' or do
I do a second / separate echo line as: 'echo
"&secondaddress">~alias/.qmail-blackvengeance-info' below the first?
Thanks in advance for your help.
