Will that also prevent qmail from following any further delivery
instructions specified in a .qmail file?
In my situation, I have a .qmail file that turns delivery over to vpopmail.
I have a .qmail-mileslink that turns delivery over to ezmlm. I want a
.qmail-mileslink-blackhole that bit buckets all mail to that address. I want
to make sure that qmail won't consult any of the other .qmail files after
doing so. Will this technique accomplish this?
PS on my last email: I used "|cat", not just "cat" in the .qmail file, in
case anyone wonders.
