Hello,

I have a question of understanding:

If virtual_alias_maps is configured and working successfully and an email address is defined in /etc/aliases to forward the emails of the root user, the configuration from /etc/aliases is NOT evaluated anymore.

/etc/aliases (relevant excerpt)
# Person who should get root's mail. Don't receive mail as root!
# Tachtler
# default: #root: you
root:      kl...@tachtler.net

An email generated locally as follows would be delivered to the user r...@tachtler.net and not to the user kl...@tachtler.net as expected?

echo "Test-E-Mail (virtual domain)" | /usr/sbin/sendmail root

Of course I can define the following in /etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps:
# Person who should get root's mail. Don't receive mail as root!
r...@tachtler.net    kl...@tachtler.net

Is this correct, or have I misconfigured or misunderstood something?

Thanks in advance for an explanation.


Regards
Klaus.
