README.alias2forward
1Use the alias2forward.pl program to go through your existing domains
2and convert the aliases in .qmail-user files to forwards. The newer
3versions of QmailAdmin have switched to using forwards for local and
4remote users, instead of Maildir delivery for local users. This
5allows for proper processing of the .qmail file in the user's directory.

7Note that you must run this script as root or the vpopmail user.

9We recommend that you do a dry run first and watch the output to
10ensure that all changes will be as expected.
11
12You will be prompted as to whether you want to do a dry run (YES=don't
13save changes), and for the qmail directory (if it is not /var/qmail).
14
15You will also be prompted for the domain to convert (leave blank for all
16domains). Please test with a single domain and confirm proper behavior
17before processing all of your domains.

19Please contact tom@tomlogic.com with any questions, comments or
20suggestions for improvement.
