Today I needed to relay\/forward all Email from one Server (Server A) to another Server (Server B). Server A is running Qmail (on CentOS). Server B is running company smartermail.<\/p>\n
After googling and searching, I found a site teaches \u201cforwarding Email to another host\u201d using Qmail. I tried, as the article recommends setting up a Qmail config file (which didn\u2019t existed):<\/p>\n
\/var\/qmail\/control\/smtproutes<\/p>\n
Containing a Qmail Email domain forwarding rule:<\/p>\n
\n[domain.com]:[ip address]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
So If you are running Plesk Parallel Panel, Qmail was being run with virtual domain support and spotted a Qmail config file:<\/p>\n
\/var\/qmail\/control\/virtualdomains<\/p>\n
This config file contained the name of the domain I was trying to forward followed by a colon and a number, Must remove the line containing the domain name trying to forward, then restart the Qmail.<\/p>\n
These are what you need to do, the process are:<\/p>\n
#1. Back up all your current, working config files and if at all possible, do this using a test domain or sub-domain name so if you make mistakes you have a backup!<\/p>\n
#2. Set up your destination Email Server to receive Email for the relevant (sub)domain and Email account(s).<\/p>\n
#3. Ensure that the domain name you are trying to forward Email for is in the Qmail config file \/var\/qmail\/control\/rcpthosts (this ensures that Qmail will handle Email for the domain).<\/p>\n
#4. A necessary to create the Qmail config file \/var\/qmail\/control\/smtproutes.
Add a forwarding rule to \/var\/qmail\/control\/smtproutes<\/p>\n\n[domain.com]:[ip address]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
If you want to forward all Email for all domains handled by your Qmail Server, you can use a wildcard config which means you omit the source domain name e.g.:<\/p>\n
\n:[ip address]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
#5. Now you can restart Qmail:<\/p>\n
$ \/etc\/rc.d\/init.d\/qmail restart<\/p>\n
#6. Check your destination Email Server which should now be receiving Email sent to Server A for the source domain.<\/p>\n
This worked fine for me using (source server) Centos\/Fedora\/Plesk 8,10,11\/Qmail and destination server smartermail\/Postfix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
