HI,

Can anybody tell me how to forward mails like this:
I got only one system account and mail server use it and when I mail to rafal@aaa.com and rafal@bbb.com it deliver mails to this same account.

I want to do it like this:
If I receive mail to rafal@aaa.com then mailserver deliver it to rafal_a account and when to rafal@bbb.com it deliver to rafal_b account.

I thing this is .procmailrc or .forward file.

Thanks

Sounds like you are describing virtual hosting.

Although, in a very simple situation you could do something with a procmail rule (I would think...). Something like this in a procmailrc file:

Code:

:0:
* ^TO.rafal@bbb.com
/home/rafal_b

And a similar rule for aaa. The rc might not be exactly correct (that TO might need changing) but that is probably the way to do it on a very simple setup. Ultimately something like that would be done using virtual hosting:

Cool
