Hi All,
I'm sure I'm missing some subtle point in the documentation but could
someone kindly clarify for me. This is postfix 3.5.8 on a Rocky Linux
system. Delivery is by lmtp to cyrus-imap on another machine.
My e-mail domain kensnet.org, among others, is set up as a virtual
domain. There is an entry for that domain in the file local_host_names
that is referenced by virtual_mailbox_domains in main.cf
I have also set up the parameter virtual_mailbox_maps =
hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable in main.cf. virtusertable contains the
entry "k...@kensnet.org kens" which appears to be working. However, that
file also contains the entry "k...@kensnet.org kens" to catch incoming
e-mail with that version of my e-mail address. This address receives an
address unknown NDA.
Similarly there is another entry for j...@kensnet.org with a similar
alias of accou...@kensnet.org. The accounts address gets an NDA.
The relevant mailboxes in cyrus are kens and joy. Its almost as if
postfix is not rewriting the name part before the @ and is simply
handing them over to cyrus as received.
I tried switching virtual_mailbox_maps to virtual_alias_maps. On
restarting postfix I received a bunch of
/etc/postfix/main.cf: unused parameter:
vitrual_alias_maps=hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable
messages. I didn't test further and switched the setting back.
I hope this is something postfix can do as its a breeze to set up in
sendmail. I'm sure I'm missing some subtle point here and would
appreciate a steer.
Thanks
Ken
