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 .qmailrecipient; 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 partic
ular, 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 direc
tory.
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.
