temporary rejection

Hello everyone,

I wonder if and how its possible to make qmail temporarily reject mail
for a certain virtual host. An alternative would be to forward all the
messages to another mail server for storage for a single virtual domain.

I would be grateful if somone could give me a hint how to accomplish it
or where to look for documentation.

Best regards,

Oliver Block

Separate delivery by MX record in DNS. Point the MX record of the
"virtual domain" to your secondary storage server (which needs to have
a configured SMTP daemon running on port 25).

You could also add a second IP to your primary qmail and run separate
tcpserver instances.

Unfortunately, DNS modification is no option. I forgot to mention that.

So you run a mail server and have no control over the DNS? That's sad.

That's easy: simply remove that virtual host's domains from the
rcpthosts file (and/or morercpthosts, if you use that).

Honestly, that's significantly more complicated (unless you have
control of DNS).
