Title: admin-backup@domain REDIRECT
Post by: filloweb on February 25, 2010, 03:05:32 PM
Hi all.

I'm looking for an how-to that explain the right way to redirect ONLY the backup mail to another user.

Could you help me ?!?!

Thanks a lot.

If you execute above command it will add the e-mailadress to the account as a forward, be sure to replace the address with the desired address, see also: http://qmail.3va.net/man/man5/dot-qmail.html

Open the file in a text editor and remove the line.

Even if other lines might be in there? I know your suggested command replaces all the content, but there could be more lines added or am I wrong here?

if you replace the content with Charlie's command, there will be only one line :)
