I set up a separate instance of Postfix on one of my mail servers so
that I can deal with a special instance of a FAX server without messing
up production mail. The email messages it handles are always addressed
to <FAX number>@send.fax and the messages are to be delivered to a
program that swaps from and reply-to headers and then directly forwards
the mail to the FAX server which, in turn, sends it to the FAX machine
identified in the local part of the email address. The problem is that
Postfix is trying to send the message directly instead of delivering it
to a program. This is what is contained in the aliases file:
@send.fax "|/opt/local/adm/aliasfilters/FAX.filter faxfilter"
The alias is domain only because there are millions of possible FAX
machines in the world. Postfix recognizes the "@send.fax" pattern at
least for accepting the message in the first place (no error about
unknown local recipient), but I'm wondering if the way the alias is
declared is the reason the message is not being delivered to the program.
