You could copy the email to one account and have that
account forward copies to multiple email addresses.
currently qmail tap only supports sending the copy
to one email address.

It works! - part of it at least :)
But :
- I am using an already patched qmail (with the John Simpson combined
patch) and when I patch it with qmail-tap I get a failure indication on
qmail-control.9. After viewing qmail-control.9.rej I see it fails adding
the ".I taps \fR(none) \fRqmail-queue" so, I add this line manually to
the qmail-control.9 file. After that I recompile qmail and copy the old
contents of the control dir to the current control dir (to keep my qmail
settings, otherwise it looses mailbox information (?). Nevertheless, It
seems to be working. If anyone knows any drawback please advice.
- qmail-tap copies ALL mails, even mail from local accounts. Is there a
way to copy only mails in and/or out the server ?
- how can I copy to 2 accounts ? i.e., copy to a mailmaster account and
also to a department account. I don't know the syntax. I already tried

You're right, I can create it by hand. My problem is that it will be

The copy is for full backup of incoming and outgoing mail. There are
some
mailboxes used for customer service and we want to keep a record of all
processes, not allowing any assistant to wipe out a record.
Ah! There is an easier way. Apply the qmail-tap patch to your qmail
source code and you can configure a /var/qmail/control/taps file
to make a copy of all incoming/outgoing email.

The qmail tap patch is designed for exactly what you are trying to do.
Allow the system admin to make backup copies of all incoming/outgoing
email.
Then qmailadmin will never see it. Just system admins who have
access to that /var/qmail/control/taps file
If qmailadmin doesn't let you create it you can create it by hand.
Why would you want to send a copy of the users email address someplace
else and also deliver a copy to their vpopmail box?

But that way I am just creating an alias, right ?
Because I can´t create a new forward with the same name of an already
existent account.
With sendmail I was able to create an alias with the same name of an
existent user (and even forward it to the same-name user). That was how
I
did the mail-copying : i create the user, an alias with the same name,
and
then forwarded the alias to the user (with the same name) and the
mailmaster repository.
With Qmail I don't know how to do this easily
Create a forward from the main menu.
Not from the user modification page
The user mod page creates a .qmail file in
the users Maildir area
The forward on the main menu creates
a .qmail-forwardname file in the
domain's main directory

Whenever I create a forward, either as a user (creating my own
forward)
or
as postmaster creating a forward on someone account, qmailadmin
always
create the same file : .qmail
This way, the user can reset the forward.
Am I doing something wrong ?

Hi,
I would like to have some email accounts copied/forwarded to some
other
accounts. I don't mind if the user sees that the account is being
forward
and to whom. What I don't want is that the user have the capability
of
disabling that forward. However, it should be possible for the user
to
create/change/delete his owns forwards.
If I manually change the .qmail, the forward appears in qmailadmin
but
the
user can disable it.
How can I do this ? Is it possible to this without changing the
qmailadmin
code ? (I thought about a file created by qmailadmin that would
have
the
.qmail entries that should not be altered by non-admin users)
You might be able to create a forward with qmailadmin. Which
writes a .qmail-user file. The user won't be able to change
that. They could only change their own forwards.
The other way would be to use the qmail-tap patch that lets you
tap any email address and send a copy to an address of your choice.
