This is probably a faq, but still... I've been playing with virtual

main.cf:
virtual_mailbox_domains = bar.com
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/massmail
virtual_mailbox_maps = regexp:/usr/local/etc/postfix/home.map
virtual_minimum_uid = 1002
virtual_uid_maps = static:1002
virtual_gid_maps = static:1002
home.map:
/^(.+)@([EMAIL PROTECTED])$/ $2/$1/
when you have it working, remind me to send mail to
<../../../../tmp/@bar.com>
:)
Agreed :) This is just alpha version, for getting to know Postfix.
Still I thought virtual_mailbox_base was as smart as it looked like?
qmail for example disallows .. in paths.
username > homedir mapping is pretty static in its nature. How can I
still do it without silly large data tables?
You need a "silly large data table" because you need to only accept mail
to valid addresses. with your wildcard setup, all addresses are valid.
Aha, in the strive for getting regexp: to work I haven't yet thought any
further. Of course you're right. So, ...
if you really want to accept all mail, then "break" recipient validation
(a wildcard virtual alias is enough) and use maildrop, dovecot or
procmail to do the actual delivery. but you'll have to check the
recipient address to avoid random stuff in your filesystem.
any of these alternative delivery methods aren't required to get simple
things going.
