Organizing lots of .qmail files
|
|
Hey all,
After many years of satisfied qmail usage and administration, I've come to the
realization that I've made entirely too many .qmail files for my own good. Any
time I sign up for a service or join a list, I'll make a new .qmail file and
happily go about my way. Over time my home directory has grown to now be about
85.9% .qmail files, which makes doing an "ls -la" interesting.
I'd like to simplify this, so I've looked into a few of the mechanisms available
like the dot-forward package and the qmail-users feature. I've looked into using
fastforward, since I've used it in the past on other systems, but it manages
associations for forwarding, not for deliveries. I could patch it, but I'd
rather avoid doing that if it turns out I'm simply overlooking a better way
consolidate all my aliases and forwards.
Ideally I'd end up with a single ~/aliases.cdb file or a ~/.qmail/ directory,
however if I edit the homedir field of a /var/qmail/users/assign file, I suspect
the default behavior will be to look there for my Maildirs and break the
'./Maildir/' syntax I've used successfully thus far.
What experiences have folks had in organizing their own .qmail files? What would
the best solution look like for a case like this?
