Hello.

I'm unfamiliar with qfadddomain, I've never heard of that command and a Google search for it turns up nothing.

The traditional way of adding a virtual domain in qmail is via the

virtualdomains

file in the format:

example.com:jake

When qmail receives an email for the virtual domain (let's say someone sends an email to

[e-mail]

), it prepends the virtualdomain address to the real user address then treats the mail as if it was being delievered locally with a standard extension address. So, that email to

[e-mail]

would be delievered to:

[e-mail]

But would be treated as local mail. jake could then handle the extension address via .qmail.

It's kind of cryptic and time consuming to add handlers for each address via .qmail, which is why virtual mail managers such as vmailmgr [vmailmgr.org] and vpopmail [inter7.com] exist for qmail.

If your server came preinstalled with qmail, usually one of those virtual mail handlers will be installed too. Give it a look.
