 Posted: Thu Jul 06, 2006 11:26 pm Post subject: Postfix multi-domain virtual alias question |
 |
|
I used the guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml to set up my mail server...
My local domain is acm.cise.ufl.edu
My virtual domain is installstation.com
I can create virtual accounts using vmail no problem and I can use my local accounts no problem... however what I would like to do is have a virtual alias point towards a local account such as webmaster@installstation.com -> user@acm.cise.ufl.edu
I hoped it would work just by adding an entry to the Virtual database table but it did not (the mail I send to webmaster@installstation.com just disappears, can't find it anywhere and I get no error in return)
Anyone know how I could go about doing this? If you need to see database output or config files let me know which ones.
I appreciate the help. |

Hi,
Have you ever asked yourself why there is an alias-table? 
alias: webmaster@installstation.com
destination: user@acm.cise.ufl.edu
The Alias-User does not have to have an account, and the destination-User can also be external... |

| Doesn't work. I get an error returned. "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table" |

The alias table is for local aliases or domains marked as local: rather than virtual: Assuming the incoming address is virtual, your aliases need to go into the virtual table. See Code Listing 7.5 in the how-to.

Assuming your config is doing what you want it to do webmaster@installstation will be delivered to user@acm... which is a local system user, not a virtual user. Where do the logs say the mail is going? You might need to add a -v to the end of the smtpd line in master.cf and restart Postfix. That will increase the logging. Remember to remove it or your logs will get large quickly.
