Re: Double Forwarding
Sorry, I probably didn´t explain myself well. I have a mail queue called domain.es and it´s directory is /var/spool/queue/domain.es In this directory, I have a .qmail-default, amongst the new, cur and tmp directory. Anything that goes to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" goes to the "new" directory, unless there is a .qmail-x file for the user it is being sent to. The user wants to have his mail sent at "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" BUT this E-Mail has to split to two parts, one has to be the "new" directory so that it goes to the queue reciever, and the other has to go to his own mail account in the same server. So, I have created a file called .qmail-user and in this file I have placed "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and on a new line, I have placed "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The problem is that th message loops, and does not go to the "new" directory. So, when I send a message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" it goes to his own mail account, and tries to go to the queue, only that the file ".qmail-user" is for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", so the message loops... ...it tries to get sent to itself over and over again. How could I solve this ? Dave Sill wrote: "Neil D. Roberts" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a little problem with creating a double alias.

What do you mean by "mail queues for domains"? The problem is that one of my clients wants to have redirected his email address to a) his mail box b) his mail queue. You mean he wants to file a copy in his mailbox and forward another copy elsewhere? That's easy: just put two lines in his .qmail file: one for the mailbox and another for the forward. The local email addresses would be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and his mail queue would be "@domain.es" for example. He wants me to have "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" go to his mail queue and also go to his "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I created a file in the home directory for the mail queue called ".qmail-user". Inside this file I have placed "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", so this part works. Right now, mail sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" does not go to the mail queue but goes to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". How could I duplicate this so that it also goes to the mail queue ? I can´t place "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the ".qmail-user" file because it would loop. Any ideas as to what I can do Yow, my head hurts. I can't figure out what you're talking about. You need to identify: 1) the local user's username 2) the local system's domain name 3) the virtual domain name 4) the virtual username 5) the remote address to which you want the message copied Or give another example with real domain names and user names and identify which are real/local and which are virtual. -Dave

"Neil D. Roberts" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have a mail queue called domain.es No, you have a virtual domain called domain.es. You have only one mail queue, and it is in /var/qmail/queue. (When you misuse the terminology like this, it's difficult to understand your question.) and it´s directory is /var/spool/queue/domain.es Virtual domains don't have directories, exactly. What I think you mean to say is that /var/spool/queue/domain.es is a maildir, and that it is also the home directory for domain.es mail, according to your control/virtualdomains and users/assign. The user wants to have his mail sent at "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" BUT this E-Mail has to split to two parts, one has to be the "new" directory so that it goes to the queue reciever, and the other has to go to his own mail account in the same server. So, I have created a file called .qmail-user and in this file I have placed "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and on a new line, I have placed "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". [EMAIL PROTECTED] will, as you say, loop. You don't want to deliver the mail to that *address*; you're already doing that. Instead, you want to deliver it to the *maildir*. Change the [EMAIL PROTECTED] line to: /var/spool/queue/domain.es/ paul
RE: Double Forwarding
I BELIEVE this may be possible using the dot-forward package. Using a .forward file, you should be able to forward to multiple addresses, including the current one without creating a loop (I have done this before in sendmail, and presume the same is true for the dot-forward package, but it has been a while...)

Re: Double Forwarding
Are you sure you aren't a little confused? I meant the dot-forward add-on package that uses a literal .forward file in the user's home. If this package doesn't work, the only other idea I personally would have would be to setup up the alias to forward to two different accounts: a different mail spool for the user (under a different but probably similar) username, and the other to the list or whatever. Hopes this helps Brett. -Original Message- From: Neil D.

As the second line in the .qmail-user file, try ./Maildir/ I think that will give you the behavior you want. -ScottG.
