Hi Jake and all, Sorry to jump in the middle of a thread, but reading this sounds basically the same as what I am after. I want to forward a copy of all email aimed at a particular user. If I configure taps for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED], will that basically match only email aimed at [EMAIL PROTECTED], effectively matching the to address?
Is there any catch or is it that straight forward? So my steps basically are as follows? 1 touch /var/qmail/control/taps 2 vi /var/qmail/control/taps 3 add [EMAIL PROTECTED]:other...... So is taps installed by default and all I need is to create the taps file, or is there a particular toaster package that needs to be installed? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Jake Vickers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 August 2008 11:52 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Redirect Email via From Field..

You've no idea how much I appreciate it. > The /etc/mail/mailfilter script is for spam. If you read through it you'll see that it examines the score of messages, and if MATCH >= 12 (I think that's the default) it will deliver to the user's Spam folder. It's up to you, depending on your situation, whether or not to loave it in. To turn it on for all users, you would need to recompile the qmailadmin package with the spambox option on (look in the wiki, it's well documented) and then turn the "Spam detection" on for each user and it would then use .mailfilter files if they exist for those users. Or you can write a script that puts the needed .qmail entry in each user's folder. And no, the .qmail file is only called when mail for that user is delivered. You may be able to modify the .qmail-default file to do what you want. And as a side note, you can forward mail while leaving a copy in the user's folder. You may also want to look at taps (check the wiki) which for almost exactly what you're trying to do (archive mail). --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
