[cobalt-developers] Raq4i, Mail Forwarding

[Rene Madsen <madsere@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am moving an application onto a Raq4i from an Exim
based host and wondered if somebody could help me
understand how things are done on the Raq.

To make a long story short: I have perl applicaton
that allow users to create/update/delete a (free)
email alias on the server from a web interface.

They basically maintain a MySQL database entry and
every time there is an update I used to write out the
file to a file in /etc/valiases/ - this automatically
was "picked up" by Exim without further ado.

I understand that /etc/mail/aliases works in a similar
way on the Raq - however, having to run newaliases
every time sbdy update their email aliase - something
that could happen every minute - does not seem very
efficient.

I am quite open for other ways of doing this?  I
recall seing a host using a .forward file which seemed
to work in a similar way.

Basically I would prefer creating a file in the format

forwardname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:
realname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Any help appreciated!

Rene
