Peter, Edward,
Thanks for the input on this, I'll be playing with it more today.
One important thing I forgot to mention in my last post, is that I'm only a
MX for these domains, the customer runs his own server to handle the mail.
Normally, I'd just set up an SMTP route to send all the mail to the
customer's server, but they're running exchange, and for those who don't
know, it's not fun to admin an exchange server when you have hundreds of
users to configure to accept mail at dozens of domains (actually only 2 or
3, but still a pain).
Thanks,

** If you are using vmailmgr, yes there is. Since all domains are handled by
** individual system users, just point both domains at the same system user:
**
** [/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains]
** # format is ``domain:system_user''
** # I name system users after the domain, just to be simple
** example.com:example.com
** # domain alias for example.com
** example.net:example.com
**
** (I'm sure it's possible w/o vmailmgr; that's just what I know.) The nice
** thing about this method is that it avoids the add'l delivery of a forward
** (which is what the FAQ suggests). We use this all the time.
