fastforward handles qmail forwarding according to a cdb database.
|
|
It can create forwarding databases from a sendmail-style /etc/aliases
|
|
or from user-oriented virtual-domain tables.
|
|
|
|
fastforward supports external mailing lists, stored in a binary
|
|
format for fast access. It has a tool to convert sendmail-style
|
|
include files into binary lists.
|
|
|
|
fastforward is more reliable than sendmail. sendmail can't deal
|
|
with long aliases, or deeply nested aliases, or deeply nested include
|
|
files; fastforward has no limits other than memory. sendmail can
|
|
produce corrupted alias files if the system crashes; fastforward
|
|
is crashproof.
|
|
|
|
fastforward's database-building tools are much faster than sendmail's
|
|
newaliases. Even better, fastforward deliveries don't pause while
|
|
the database is being rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
fastforward does not support insecure sendmail-style program
|
|
deliveries from include files; you can use qmail's secure built-in
|
|
mechanisms instead. fastforward does support program deliveries
|
|
from /etc/aliases.
