Dean FireFox/Mozilla have a Reload button right next to the box where you define your proxy config. IE (5.5+) reloads it if you make any changes to the Connections menu items. I don't believe Konqueror/Safari/Opera have an equivalent function - a minor bug-bear which should be fixed IMHO.

[SLUG] Qmail smtproutes
Sluggers, I have a linux box which accepts mail for my domain and scans it before sending it onto the real mail server behind the firewall. Qmail is configured with an entry in smtproutes to do this. Now I want to stop just some e-mail addresses in the domain from being forwarded and instead have them stored locally on the linux box. I thought that if I created the user locally on the linux box with a ~/.qmail file that the mail would be delivered there but apparently not. So I thought maybe we need specific entries in smtproutes so that they are caught before being matching the domain line i.e smtproutes [EMAIL PROTECTED]:linuxbox my.domain.com:realmailserver But that doesn't work either. Have I got the syntax for smtproutes wrong or am I barking up the wrong tree? Cluesticks?

RE: [SLUG] Qmail smtproutes
Hi Peter, To deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] locally, you can add an entry in 'virtualdomains' rather than smtproutes: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:localuser You can then use .qmail files under the 'localuser' account to forward wherever you like, e.g. create /home/localuser/.qmail-noforward with forwarding to another local mailbox, or use something like vmailmgr (http://www.vmailmgr.org) for virtual mailboxes.

Re: [SLUG] Qmail smtproutes
Qmail can be tricky, largely because things are only documented on one particular man page, there are forward references between the man pages, and often what things mean, and what you think they mean, can be at odds.

In addition to the suggestion Stuart made about locals and virtualhosts, you may also want to check out the documentation about the alias user. ie, in /var/qmail/alias can be a bunch of .qmail files (typically root, mail-daemon, postmaster, ie .qmail-root .qmail-postmaster .qmail-mailer-daemon This assumes that Qmail is installed properly (ie DJB's way) has its alias user set up, etc. I seem to recall that the Debian maintainer attempted to fix the setup, so god knows where it expects things to be.
