Well you guys never answered my question, so I had to learn something on my own again (dang) ;-) I found a solution!
Mail to local users STILL is delivered to local users! (Whaaa?) Yeah, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or `echo 'hello' | mail j` actually sends mail to a local user. The user would still be able to check this mail using their /etc/passwd file and old username if vpopmail was compiled to allow it, but currently it wont: system passwords = OFF --disable-passwd (default) So mail is delivered into ~/Maildir for each user. But they cannot check this mail. So, we must do a forward. To forward a real local user to a remote address, you give the user a ~/.qmail file. This is the qmail-version of the .forward file. So, for example... [EMAIL PROTECTED]/0 control]$cat /home/j/.qmail &[EMAIL PROTECTED] It *does not work* to put the qmail file in: /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-j because this place only works for users that don't exist (local or virtual). So now I will make a script to go through all local user home directories, and create the necessary Maildir and .qmail file and direct to their main email address (e.g. /home/j/.qmail -> &[EMAIL PROTECTED]).
