You are obviously not reading all our emails. I have told you to search
for smarthost option and yet you are again talking about mail poping
from main server.
You need to setup mdaemon to forward all emails destined to example.com
to your qmail server. qmail doesn't have to do anything. Mail will get
to him.
Let us imagine that instead of MDaemon your fornt mail server is qmail:
1. in your /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file put one line:
your.domain.name:your.qmail.server
That's it.
I see that you are lazy. Even though i never used MDaemon it took me 1
minute to use google and find what you need to do:

We most commonly see MDaemon used in tandem with Wingate to provide
email and general Internet connectivity. If this is your case, you
should also make sure your Wingate proxy is not accessible from outside
your LAN (such that spammers can't access your ISP's mail server via
your proxy!) One way to accomplish this is programming Wingate not to
proxy for connections on Port 25. You can use MDaemon to relay your mail
instead.
Choose the Setup / Primary Domain menu in MDaemon's configuration
program. Look for a Domain / Gateway dialogue that lets you specify
wether MDaemon handles mail delivery itself or instead forwards the mail
to another server.

So, if i got it right, all you need to do is write your domain name in
one field and gateway address (your qmail server address) in another.
After that MDaemon will forward all emails destined to your domain to
your qmail server.

Thank you so much.
I will do as you say. But one thing I didn't mention is that, I am
going to do away with MDaemon, so for this, I am only doing the domain
pop test for qmail so that, when am sure I can have that function
work, then I will migrate from MDaemon to qmail and have qmail or any
other linux base mail server for clients and have them domain pop
their mails from my main server.

google for smarthost. MDaemon can do mail forward automaticaly,
just learn what smarthost is. It is not MDaemon function, any mail
server can do that...

I have already setup vpopmail with qmail. The qmail server is
even sending and recieving mails. But what I am trying to get
work is that, there is another server, MDaemon which is serving
as a gateway for the qmail server. So any message sent to my
qmail server gets to the MDaemon first and then the qmail server
is suppose to do a domain pop (catch all account) and now have
the message delivered to the respective virtual users.
Going through google, people sugested getmail or fetchmail but I
could see that, they are not supporting virtual useres but local
users.
Also, I don't have to create a pop account for all users on the
MDaemon server, but just one accout as the gateway account so all
message for every users get stored in one folder. So it is now
the work of the domain pop function of the qmail to be able to
download the mails and have it deliver to all the users .
This is what I need help with.
I just hope am making some sense.
cheers
