Got another question too, With the aliases table, it doesn't seem to work like the aliases file, eg:
/etc/aliases contains: postmaster: root webmaster: root root: admin admin: john If I transfer these directly, it doesn't seem to work. Only if I add the @domain.tld part to each alias and deliver-to. But this means I'd have to add aliases for each domain. Is there a way to make aliases global? ...
