NAME
     fastforward - forward mail according to a cdb database

SYNOPSIS
     in .qmail-default: | fastforward [ -nNpPdD ] cdb

DESCRIPTION
     fastforward forwards each incoming message according to instructions in cdb
     created by setforward.

     If there is no forwarding instruction in cdb for the incoming recipient ad-
     dress, fastforward will bounce the message.

     You  can override .qmail-default with a specific .qmail-recipient; see dot-
     qmail(5).

     Warning to system administrators: Messages do not	reach  ~alias/.qmail-de-
     fault unless they are controlled by the alias user.  See qmail-getpw(8).

     SECURITY  WARNING:  If cdb includes instructions pointing to a mailing list
     owned by another user, that user gains some amount of control over fastfor-
     ward's behavior.  In particular, he can force fastforward to open any  file
     that you can access, and to read any world-readable file that you own, even
     if the file is in a world-inaccessible directory.

OPTIONS
     -n   No delivery.	fastforward will print a description of its actions, but
	  will not actually read or forward a message.

     -N   (Default.)  Forward a message as usual.

     -p   Pass	through.   If fastforward does not find the recipient in cdb, it
	  exits 0, giving the message to further commands in .qmail-default.  If
	  fastforward finds the recipient, it forwards the message and exits 99,
	  so that further commands are skipped.

     -P   (Default.)  Do not pass through.  If fastforward finds the  recipient,
	  it  forwards	the  message and exits 0.  Otherwise it bounces the mes-
	  sage.

     -d   Use $DEFAULT@$HOST as the recipient address, or $EXT@$HOST if $DEFAULT
	  is not set.

     -D   (Default.)  Use $RECIPIENT as the recipient address.
