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.
