You are correct, when in the locals file qmail seems to want to deliver tha mail
to a local shell user. What I want to do is send that mail to a virtual user in
the example.com domain. I tried puting the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address in the
.qmail-root and .qmail-postmaster and .qmail-mailer-daemon files that I created
in the /var/qmail/alias directory but to no avail.
Simply put, I just want emails intended for local machine to go to the user of
my choice in the default domain of my choice.
Ok - you could put a .qmail file in the shell users homedir containing
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (I think this requires the fastforward package), this
will forward all mail to the intended virtualdomain email...
I don't know how to make this a global setting (if you have a lot of
shell users this could be quite a task), maybe a blank locals file ?
I hope some of this helps :)
Thanks for the response,

Quoting Sune Rievers [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I think you need to put smtp.example.com in /var/qmail/control/me (and
locals),
this is the local (not virtual) domain that qmail uses to deliver to
shell users...

Hi -
I am a newbie to vpopmail and qmail but I have managed to get the
basics working
- qmail is up and running successfully with two virtual domains
authenticating
against openLDAP.
The one problem I am having is getting mail addressed to the local
machine (ex.
- cron job error messages) delivered to a user in one of my virtual
domains.
Detail:
virtualdomain1: example.com
virtualdomain2. example2.com
hostname of qmail/vpopmail server: smtp.example.com
In my alias directory of qmail I have a .qmail-root,
.qail-mailer-daemon and
.qmail-postmaster file all forwarding to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the control directory of qmail, if I keep my locals file empty,
anytime I
email say root (which seems to be automatically changed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], I get an error message from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] complaining that
there is no
entry in locals so it can't deliver the message. If I add the entry
smtp.example.com to locals the message seems to be accepted but it
isn't
delivered to any mailbox that I can see it.
It seems to me that when the server name of my host is in locals qmail
is trying
to send it to a user from /etc/passwd maybe and then doesn't find one?
Not sure
why it isn't reading the .qmail files in the alias directory (seems to
do this
fine when a message needs to be sent by mailer-daemon).
FYI - I am using Maildir's and Sqwebmail. Sending and retrieving
email between
virutal domains is no problem - just can't seem to get messages sent
to local
machine to be forwarded to an account in my virtual domain.
I realize this is probably a very simple question, and I apologize for
the post,
but I have scoured various docs, and although the info seems to be
there I can't
seem to piece together exactly how local delivery works with virutal
domains.
Thanks,
J.R.
