[nflug] Copy pop account email to another email address in QMAIL

[speljamr at speljamr.com]

Ok, I have figured out the answer. Here it is for anyone else running
Qmail:

John was close, but in Qmail the
"/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail" just runs a shell command and
does end up injecting it in the queue again, thus my infinite loop.
However, you can specify delivery to a specific Maildir using the
following: "/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/username/Maildir/"
Then add another line with the address you need it to forward to with
"&user at emaildomain.com"

Do it exactly that way
and it works as expected, at least with vpopmail.

John, thanks
for your ideas, they helped push me in the right direction and I found the
final answer in the O'Reilly Qmail book. I just didn't know where to look
before.
