You could go a much easier way by using control/smtproutes if you tell your new server to accept mails for mywebmail.com (if its also Qmail just put it in your locals or virtualdomains and rcpthosts). Here you tell your QMail to send all messages received for mywebmail.com to mywebmail.newprovider.com by putting a mywebmail.com:new.mail.server or mywebmail.com:[IP of new server] into control/smtproutes. Then give qmail-send a HUP and all mails are immediately redirected. If this is not possible you put .qmail-default file in the directory mail for mywebmail.com get delivered. Then you put �forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] If this doesn't work, you'll have to choose another environment variable (depending on your installation). Just put a � env > ./env.dat in your .qmail-default file as first line.
