It removes *prefix* from the begin |ning of each envelope recipient address. It ignores any |message whose recipient address does not begin with *pre |fix*. | |/maildirsmtp/ removes messages accepted by *host*. It bounces |messages permanently rejected by *host* back to the envelope |sender, and then removes them. It treats temporary rejec |tion as permanent rejection for messages more than two |weeks old. | ... |/maildirsmtp/ needs /tcpclient/ in $PATH. `- -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther Impiety, n.: Your irreverence toward my diety. -- Ambrose Bierce

Hi Peter: This sounds wonderful. Hopefully, serialmail won't get confused and try to deliver the message locally. We'll give it a try.

You shouldn't store them in '.qmail-default', but in a Maildir where .qmail-default directs them to (it would be unwise to store them in the file containing /the/ delivery instructions). With this setup you can send the mails in this Maildir out via SMTP by using 'maildirsmtp' tool from 'serialmail' package[1]. This should be sufficient according to what you've written, IF you don't mind "performing some operations" on multiple files (as Maildir stores each mail in a new file) instead of one 'Mailbox' file.
