RE: forwarding catchall

[Lu Vo]

Here is how I do it and may not be for everyone.

modify the alias.c file:

under the adddotqmailnow() function:

rebuild qmailadmin and install.

Then in qmailadmin form, when you wish to forward catchall to an outside
address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], just create a forward "default" like this:

Forward Email Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Local Name: default
