[COLUG] Bash script trouble

[Robert Grimm]

I'm trying to make a script that will list all email address from  
qmail and include all forwarding addresses in the .qmail-* files. I  
want  every address to be a single line. What I end up with is  
something that looks like this:

name at domain.com
  -> &targetaddress

If there is an address that forwards to two or more addresses, I get  
each target address on a new line. I assume I need to use sed somehow,  
but when I use it to replace the beginning character of lines that  
begin with -> or & with a \b, I get those lines starting with ^M  
rather than backspacing the contents to the end of the previous line.  
What am I missing? Here is the script.

#!/bin/sh
#go to the domains directory
cd /home/vpopmail/domains
#remove the old alladdresses file
rm ~/alladdresses
#step through domains
for domain in $( ls -1 ); do
         if [ -d $domain ] #if this is a valid domain
         then
                 #list all real accounts, add @domain at the end,  
leave out postmaster addresses
                 /home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -D $domain -n | sed -e '/ 
postmaster/d' | sed -e "s/$/@$domain/" >> ~/alladdresses
                 #enter domain directory to get forwarders
                 cd $domain
                 #step through forwarders
                 for forward in $( ls -1 .qmail-* ); do
                         #convert filename into email address
                         echo -n $forward | cut -d - -f 2 | sed -e "s/ 
$/@$domain/" >> ~/alladdresses
                         #put target address after local address
                         echo -n "->" >> ~/alladdresses
                         cat $forward >> ~/alladdresses
                 done
         fi
         #go back to main domain directory
         cd /home/vpopmail/domains
done
