Pick one what? Pick an alias, I presume, or pick a mail client (MUA)? > Last count I had ~2500 records in my password manager (not all > emails/logins...but most). Not a problem, it just requires a setup which scales. I use a large number of aliases myself, easily in the three digit numbers. Whenever I need a fresh alias, I simply add it to my LDAP server. That only takes seconds. Postfix and Dovecot are both configured to perform LDAP lookups, so neither of them need to be touched. As for MUAs: It was already mentioned that Thunderbird supports multiple identities for multiple accounts (n:m relationship). When composing replies, TB will automatically pick the correct account-identity-pair, but if an identity is used very rarely, it is also possible to change the From-Header manually on an ad-hoc basis. One /can/ add identities, but one doesn't have to; a brief manual override suffices. Additionally, I use Notmuch (https://notmuchmail.org) for mailing lists, which offers even greater flexibility. The complete message header is pre-generated and available for any modification I desire right there in my text editor. All this works fine for me, and it has proven both robust and flexible enuough for my personal needs over the course of many years. Your mileage may vary. -Ralph _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
