maildir2smtp - blast a maildir across SMTP
maildir2smtp is designed to pass messages along a SLIP or
PPP link. To set this up on the disconnected end, create
a new maildir in alias:
# maildirmake ~alias/pppdir
# chown -R alias ~alias/pppdir
Put
:alias-ppp
into control/virtualdomains and
./pppdir/
into ~alias/.qmail-ppp-default. Don't forget the extra
slash in pppdir/. Then, in the PPP startup script, do
maildir2smtp ~alias/pppdir alias-ppp- $IP `hostname`
replacing $IP with the remote IP address.
