From sendmail to qmail : Multiple Domains problem

Hello all.

I switch my Mailserver from sendmail to qmail.

I configured several users on the system.
I gave Adresses to the users with Mail Alias.
I configured local Domains.

The problem is I have 5 Domains and all Mails for every Domain
is coming to the user weather it is in a Domain or not.

And know the problem comes:

There is a info@ for every Domain.

And that is what is not working because qmail makes no difference in the
Domains.

So, when is make a postoffice for info every mail for all infos comes in
that postoffice.
When make a postoffice for info@domainA and a info@domainB nothing goes.
Qmail says that there is no such postoffice.

What to do?

Any clues?

Thanx

FP> What to do?

Read chapter 11 of _The qmail Handbook_ or section 3.4 of _Life With qmail_.

Because you told it they were the same (local). What you need to do is
make them virtual. See:

http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#virtual-domains

Right, you already said that.

How did you "make a postoffice for info@domainA and a info@domainB"?

info@domainA and so on are normal users. Same as all other accounts.

I followed the instructions by telling qmail the domains to local AND to
virtual.

But it's not working.

Here comes more information:

The acounts are:

info.domainA and info.domainB and so on.

The Email-adresses are:

info@domainA and info@domainB etc.

No problem for sendmail.

I don't see in the docs that qmail is able to handle this correctly.

*sig*

You have a username that is literally info@domainA? If not, please
don't generalize. You have a specific problem, and I can't solve it
without specific information.

*Never* add a domain to both locals and virtualdomains. If it's in
locals, it's local, regardless of what virtualdomains says.

qmail ignores usernames with uppercase characters.

No problem. Here's an example: Say the domains are a.example.com and
b.example.com, and you want the info@ mail to go infoa and infob,
respectively.

1) Leave a.example.com and b.example.com out of control/locals.

2) Add a.example.com and b.example.com to control/rcpthosts.

3) Add the following to control/virtualdomains:

a.example.com:alias-a
b.example.com:alias-b

4) Create ~alias/.qmail-a-info containing:

&infoa

5) Create ~alias/.qmail-b-info containing:

&infob

6) Send qmail-send a HUP signal.

No you didn't. What FAQ 3.2 tells you to do is not what you claim to actually
have done.

As I said, read chapter 11 of _The qmail Handbook_ or section 3.4 of _Life
With qmail_.

FP> But it's not working.

First of all, thanks very much for your reply!
It's helping much better than posts like RTFM or so.

Now I followed exactly your instructions, but now none of the accounts
receiving mails.

Qmail is telling mail that the account does not exists.

Strange things happen.
