http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#virtual-domains <snip> 3.4. Virtual domains Virtual domains are similar to the multiple host names discussed in the previous section, but there are some important differences. First, if example.net hosts the virtual domain virtual.example.com, it's generally not true that messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should end up in the same mailbox as messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The namespace for each virtual domain is distinct. With qmail, virtual domains are configured in the virtualdomains file, which consists of one or more entries of the form: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:prepend qmail converts [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and treats the result as if domain was local. The user@ part is optional. If it's omitted, the entry matches all @domain addresses. Returning to the example scenario above, if the example.net mail administrator wanted to create a virtual domain, virtual.example.com, under the administrative control of user john, the following entry in virtualdomains would accomplish that: virtual.example.com:john An incoming message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be rewritten as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and delivered locally. See the .qmail section, and the extension addresses subsection for more information about how john can manage his virtual domain. As with multiple host names, all virtual domains must be listed in rcpthosts so qmail-smtpd will know to accept messages addressed to them. However, unlike multiple host names, virtual domains must not be added to locals. After modifying virtualdomains, send qmail-send a HUP (hangup) signal to tell it to reread the file. If you have qmailctl, you can do: qmailctl reload Don't forget to add virtual domains to rcpthosts, too. </snip> HTH Simon
