Sorry, another problem is rising now:

suppose my primary e-mail address (managed by qmail) is
silvia@mydomain.it and suppose I want to receive messages from
root@ldap.mydomain.it (sent from cron to silvia@mydomain.it) also in,
say, silvia@gmail.com, I must create a .qmail-silvia file this way:

/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain/D/silvia/Maildir/ # this way I
get normally all my messages
| /home/silvia/copymsgs #
where copymsgs is a shell script to forward root@ldap... 's messages
to silvia@gmail.com

right?

The problem now is how to write the script itself; I try to better
explain: I was thinking to write something like this (1st thing that
came to my mind):

cat <message> | grep root@ldap > root.txt
if [ -s root.txt ] then <forward>
fi
rm -f root.txt

but ... how tell the script on which file doing the cat command?
and ... how to tell qmail to forward if the test doesn't fail?

Thank you and best regards,

Sil
