Hi,
I'm moving an existing domain to virtual mailboxes. All the info is
stored in a mysql database. Currently all devlivery and alias mapping
is working correctly; I'm using virtual_mailbox_maps,
virtual_alias_maps and virtual_mailbox_domains stored in the sql
backend.
Problem is that aliases that pipe to a command and aren't delivered
anywhere
- this is most common for mailing list software like mailman and
smartlist. Dropping the piped command into the destination side of an
alias map results in a bounce mail, and the logs show an unknown user
error. The current workaround that I'm using is to alias to another
alias in /etc/aliases (obviously a flat file, not an sql backend) which
is aliased to the pipe.
This seems wrong and doubles the admin work, as you have to add the
alias into the virtual_alias_maps sql db, and then make another alias
that points to the actual pipe. Am I doing this incorrectly? Should
virtual_alias_maps be able to handle a pipe and I've got something
misconfigured? Using postmap -q to query the db gives the correct pipe
command. It doesn't work with double quotes or without on the pipe
command.
Thanks -
Joselito
