Sorry, I forgot about the number of domains involved.  Scripting it
would obviously be preferred.

I have a bash script that creates vpopmail user accounts and
configures them to forward to accounts on my Exchange server.

I configure forwarding using lines like these:

echo \&[email protected] | sudo -u vpopmail -H tee
/home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/exampleuser/.qmail
chmod 600 /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/example/.qmail


This script usually runs in the context of some user other than
vpopmail, so I use sudo tee to get the text from the echo command into
the .qmail file.

These lines produce a .qmail file with the following content:


&[email protected]



This is the only content in the .qmail file.  There is no CR or LF at
the end of the line.
