Re: smtpd aliases

[William Orr]

Is that available in OpenBSD 5.3? I saw that in the -current manpage 
when I was originally configuring smtpd, but lmtp delivery wasn't in the 
manpage in 5.3.

Hello,


I'm having some problems with aliases in smtpd, in that they're not
properly resolving. I have a bunch of incoming mails stuck in the
queue that dovecot (my MDA) refuses to deliver. The logs don't point
to any problem reading or opening the aliases file.

Here is my smtpd.conf:

av = "amavis"
originating = "originating"
dn = "worrbase.com"
av_foreign = "lmtp://localhost:10024"
av_origin = "lmtp://localhost:10026"
dovecot = "lmtp://localhost:10110"

table aliases db:/etc/mail/aliases.db

# listen on smtp, submission and the amavis port
# should be able to use tls almost all the time
listen on fxp0 port smtp tls certificate mail
listen on fxp0 port submission tls-require certificate mail auth \
     tag $originating
listen on lo port 10025 tag $av

# coming in from amavis
accept tagged $av for domain $dn relay via $dovecot
accept tagged $av for any relay

# coming in from the outside

# coming in from local

Ok, there's a parse.y bug here that I'll be looking into.
You shouldn't be able to use "alias" in a relay rule, it is discarded.
What you want is to use local lmtp delivery, not lmtp relaying.

Hello, all!

I'm having some problems with aliases in smtpd, in that they're not

av_origin = "lmtp://localhost:10026"
dovecot = "lmtp://localhost:10110"

The aliases file (this is concatenated with the default 
/etc/mail/aliases):
root:           will
admin:          will
webmaster:      will
sysadmin:       will
worr:           will

virusalert:     will

dmarc-ruf:      repo...@dmarcanalyzer.com, postmaster

I've run newaliases after modifying the aliases db, and I've tried 
sending mails to the aliases listed in the default aliases file.

Mail to actual users works great.

Here's some of the logfile:
