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

[Mark Musone]

A simple solution that should work should simply be a .qmail of the form:


&email at address.i.want.it.forwarded.to
/directory/of/users/Maildir/



that forwards the email and the next rule just dumps it into the users actual maildir
