Hi Sahil,
I am looking in to how to create the duplicate passwd file entries, I
am assuming I cannot just edit the file without corrupting it. Below
is my main.cf and aliases file. Also, should I post my replies to
emails at the top or the bottom? (a few years ago some people got
really mad at me, but now I can't remember which was correct)
I noticed the main.cf referred to /etc/aliases while I had edited
/etc/postfix/aliases, so I also put my JIM123 entry in to /etc/aliases
and ran "sudo newaliases", but still isn't working. Should I be using
/etc/aliases instead of /etc/postfix/aliases? A few hours ago I got
"The Book of Postfix" from No Starch Press, and they said
/etc/postfix/aliases (but I suspect that is wrong).
