Wow! I didn't think I'd have to set up another instance of
qmail just to get this working. I was hoping there was a
simpler way.

Hmmm. This may work. All I'm really interested in doing is
having the INCOMING mail go to two different servers. One
server will only be used for testing so I don't need to
worry about keeping the mail, etc.

It seems like there should be a cleaner way to do this.

Thanks for the help.

Yes.  Set up a new copy of qmail in a different folder other than /var/qmail [or your current location] (see conf-*), as otherwise you can't have two running on the same machine, unless they point to the same queue and all.Bring up tcpserver for the second installation on a different port- if you care to take over a valid but lesser used port, try 26.Then add an smtproute (man qmail-remote for details) for  :localhost:26 [do check the syntax] to route all mail to that smtp server.Of course, if you loose the mail, you still loose the mail.  I'd advise delivering to a maildir locally and maybe using some of the many tools to send a mail queue from a maildir to a relay instead, leaving a copy of the mail for safekeeping.-MJeremy Oddo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Does anyone have suggestions for

[vchkpw] Best way to receive mail on TWO servers

[Jeremy Oddo]

Does anyone have suggestions for sending all incoming mail
to two servers?

I have a vpopmail server in place. I want to replace it with
an upgraded server. I want both to receive mail for a bit so
I can test the new server. I only have one external IP
address. Is there a way to tell the first server to send the
incoming mail over to the new server?

Thanks.
