This will do it:
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' $[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>From qmail-command man page:
SENDER is the envelope sender address. NEWSENDER is the
forwarding envelope sender address, as described in dot-
qmail(5). RECIPIENT is the envelope recipient address,
local@domain. USER is user. HOME is your home directory,
homedir. HOST is the domain part of the recipient
address. LOCAL is the local part. EXT is the address
extension, ext.
>From the vpopmail source code of vdelivermail.c
scopy(TheUser, getenv("EXT"), MAX_BUFF);
scopy(TheDomain, getenv("HOST"), MAX_BUFF);
I tested it on my development machine and it worked.
Here is my .qmail-default file for my test.com domain
[root@orbital test.com]# more .qmail-default
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' $[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'll send it mail:
[root@orbital test.com]# echo "to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" |
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
Here are the log entries:
