Subject: Setting default forward to external address w/ local pop boxes



All -

I'm running into some issues using qmailadmin - my aim is to forward all
e-mail that isn't delivered to a local box to be forwarded to an external
mail address.

In qmailadmin, under forwards, we add a forward and  set the 'local' to
the string "default" and the remote address to the external address we'd
like it to forward to. We then check the damage:

# pwd
/mail/domains/something.com
# cat .qmail-default
| /mail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Qmailadmin doesn't appear to be replacing the .qmail-default, only
appending to it.

If I proceed to edit the .qmail-default and remove the 'bounce-no-mailbox'
line, the pop accounts all stop working. All mail is forwarded to the
external default box.

Is this a known bug, is there a workaround, or am I perhaps commiting some
horrible crime against vpopmail?

Thanks very much for your assistance,

-john
