I think it is more common to have your MTA postfix/sendmail do the translation to aliases, so before you deliver it to lmtp. Maybe test if your MTA is indeed sending the alias sendmail -bv t...@example.com t...@example.com... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host example.com., user t...@example.com Something like this should show the alias. _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email to dovecot-le...@dovecot.org
