How do you do it > in qmail? > Add the domain to ~qmaild/controls/virtualdomains, "virtual.com:user". Create ~user/.qmail-user that contains a delivery recipe. Kill qmail-send and wait for any existing outgoing SMTP sessions to timeout or complete, may take a while. Start qmail-send. I didn't find a way to map an entire domain to another domain. The virtual domain mechanism requires .qmail-something files in the users home directories. Mail addressed to user@virtual.com is translated to user-virtual@RealDomain.com. Qmail looks for ~user/.qmail-virtual and uses that as a startup file. The .qmail-virtual file contains a delivery recipe of some sort. The .qmail-* scheme is powerfull. Users can run mailing lists with no assistance from the system administrator. Mail to user-biglist is delivered based on the contents of ~user/.qmail-biglist. :-( I set up qmail a few weeks ago and ran it for a day. I had it running in an hour. All of the above is from memory. I am not a qmail expert. John Capo
