Hello Nataniel, Oh, I forgot... To make postfix use dbmail's aliases table for local addresses, add to main.cf:
local_recipient_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mailbox.cf where mailbox.cf contains the parameters for checking an address against the dbmail aliases table, such as: user = postfix password = password dbname = dbmail table = aliases hosts = 192.168.2.2 select_field = alias where_field = alias Reload postfix, any any address or user that is in your dbmail system will be considered "local" by postfix, and non-existant addresses will bounce before getting turned over to dbmail. FAILING to do this lets your system be an open relay, using a trick that works nearly 100% with Lotus Notes, Exchange Server, and Groupwise, i.e., the bounce-relay. That works by sending a message "from" the target, to a non-existant address on a mail server. The above-named servers will accept mail to their domain, THEN check to see if the user exists. If the user doesn't exist, the message is then "bounced" to the return address, with the original message as an attachment.... which was the original target of the spam. By bouncing the message before it is accepted, you don't get this hole. -- Jeff Brenton President, Engineered Software Products, Inc http://espi.com Questionable web page: http://dididahdahdidit.com Liberalism grants you the freedom to advocate any idea*. * Please see http://www.dididahdahdidit.com/except.php for a current list of exceptions
