[vchkpw] Vpopmail and Global Aliases
I have a qmail+vpopmail installation installed with Shupp Toaster instructions. Everything is working great except for one thing. Before using vpopmail I used qmail and whenever I wanted to set up a global alias, say for abuse@, I would just create a dot qmail file in /var/qmail/alias with my email address and I would get all abuse complaints for all domains on the server. Now since I've switched to a vpopmail setup I get 511 sorry, no mailbox here by that name even though there is a dot qmail file (.qmail-abuse). It is my assumption that this is due to the .qmail-default file that is in each domain's directory when it is created. How can I add this functionality back in? I'd really hate to have to add symlinks to the .qmail files every time I add a domain, or worse, need to add them to every domain for any new global aliases. Thank you. -ken schweigert

I haven't tested it, but see if adding the following to virtualdomains would work: abuse@:abuse Trying to read djb's code is next to impossible (comments would have been helpful), and the docs for qmail-send don't say whether abuse@ will match or not. It's worth a shot though. If it doesn't work, I think you're out of luck. The domain isn't in locals, so .qmail files in ~alias are ignored. It jumps to virtualdomains, which takes it to users/assign, which takes it to the domain's directory. At that point, you'll need a .qmail-abuse in the domain's directory. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vpopmail - virtual domains for qmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ QmailAdmin - web interface for Vpopmail: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/
