Hi, have googled and searched the list for an answer so hope this isn't a regular query... we're moving from a sendmail configuration to Postfix primarily for database configured virtual mailboxes and the ease of management that entails, we wish to manage both users within our domain and other virtual domains under one umbrella, but to retain some 'unix account' processing, via the local delivery agent, for bounce handlers, mailing list software etc.
It appears that things are not designed to allow delivery to virtual mailboxes for the domain in which the mailserver lives, which is in effect what we want to achieve, quote: 'NEVER list a virtual alias domain name as a mydestination domain!' I can 'fudge' the situation by configuring the mailserver under a fake internal domain to allow virtual mailboxes for the 'real' domain to work, then 'fix' things so the server appears externally as the 'real' domain to match DNS lookups etc., finally forwarding mail to unixaccount.mycompany.local where local processing is required... myhostname = mailserver.mycompany.local mycompany = mycompany.local myorigin = mycompany.com smtp_helo_name = mailserver.mycompany.com smtpd_banner = mailserver.mycompany.com ESMTP $mail_name ... but this doesn't feel like a proper solution. Can the list recommend any tried and tested configurations for achieving this mixed scenario. Thanks, Phil.
