Hi,
I just completed the Slackware 9.1 install and follwed the complet qmail rocks guide. There were no problems that i found (default slack 9.1 setup)
(the only thing i noticed is that when u start step 14 (coming form 13) there is no choice option for slackware, so i went back the main list and chose 14 from their for slackware).

But my question is, I got some users who have their own domain names. Now i added the domain and the user to the system (via viqadmin and qmailadmin) but how can i do it so that this user gets all email which is send to *@XYZ.com except for postmaster and maybe some others.

thanks ct

It's called a 'catchall' account.

If you view your email accounts in qmailadmin, you'll see the option to select an account for catchall.

Caveat - be careful, and keep an eye on the /var/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current file - if you see any errors with qmail-scanner, chown /var/spool/qmailscan/tmp to qscand.qscand, and possibly run qmail-scanner-queue with the -z option.
