Thank you for your prompt reply. I realize that my previous post was clear as mud.
Say, for example, I add
smallpencils.com:steve to /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains via a custom template and verify that it expaned correctly.
smallpencils.com is a valid domain on my server.
steve is a valid user on my server.
bob is not a valid user, group, etc... bob is completely nonexistent on my server.
I send an email to bob@smallpencils.com (invalid user, valid domain) internally and the message gets dropped into steve's mailbox as expected.
I send another email to bob@smallpencils.com (invalid user, valid domain) from an external source and it's rejected by my server as an invalid recipient even though I have
smallpencils.com:steve in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains.
Is there something else I need to change to get anything@smallpencils.com to go to steve if sent from external sources or is this not possible?
Thanks again.
