Re: Redirecting mail for non-existent local users

[Igor Smitran <igor@xxxxxxxx>]

I am not sure if this can help:

In your virtualdomains put this:
jolt.co.uk:alias-jolt

Then in alias dir make these files for users that do not exist:
.qmail-jolt-username

For users that have dot in username use ":" instead
example:
john.joe
.qmail-jolt-john:joe

hope this helps.
