NAME
fastforward - forward mail according to a cdb database
SYNOPSIS
in
.qmail-default:
| fastforward
[
-nNpPdD
]
cdb
DESCRIPTION
fastforward
forwards each incoming message
according to instructions in
cdb
created by
setforward.
If there is no forwarding instruction in
cdb
for the incoming recipient address,
fastforward
will bounce the message.
You can override
.qmail-default
with a specific
.qmail-recipient;
see
dot-qmail(5).
Warning to system administrators:
Messages do not reach
~alias/.qmail-default
unless they are controlled by the
alias
user.
See
qmail-getpw(8).
SECURITY WARNING:
If
cdb
includes instructions pointing to a mailing list owned by another user,
that user gains some amount of control over
fastforward's
behavior.
In particular, he can force
fastforward
to open any file that you can access,
and to read any world-readable file that you own,
even if the file is in a world-inaccessible directory.
OPTIONS
- -n
-
No delivery.
fastforward
will print a description of its actions,
but will not actually read or forward a message.
- -N
-
(Default.)
Forward a message as usual.
- -p
-
Pass through.
If
fastforward
does not find the recipient in
cdb,
it exits 0,
giving the message to further commands in
.qmail-default.
If
fastforward
finds the recipient,
it forwards the message and exits 99,
so that further commands are skipped.
- -P
-
(Default.)
Do not pass through.
If
fastforward
finds the recipient,
it forwards the message and exits 0.
Otherwise it bounces the message.
- -d
-
Use
$DEFAULT@$HOST
as the recipient address, or
$EXT@$HOST
if
$DEFAULT
is not set.
- -D
-
(Default.)
Use
$RECIPIENT
as the recipient address.
