Ok. I lied. I need some hand-holding :) I guess I'm just a little
confused about how virtual aliases and domains work.
I added what you said above:
[r...@server postfix]# postconf virtual_alias_maps
virtual_alias_maps = static:michael.glen...@mycompaniesmaildomain.com
The postfix on this server is the default setup and is generally just
used by our SA's to send mail from the command line when needed. It's
setup with a relay host other than that the conf file seems right "out
of the box". My thought now is that I'll just have everything go to a
DL that our devs are on and they can filter locally but I'm testing with
my e-mail address.
I tried to send an email from the command line to my gmail account:
[r...@server postfix]# mail -s asdfasdf <mygmailaccount>
asdf
.
Cc:
And it looks like the address was rewritten properly but it's not
getting delivered and I have this error in /var/log/maillog:
Jun 10 11:33:37 server postfix/error[1587]: 8FEF724264:
to=<michael.glen...@mycompaniesmaildomain.com>, orig_to=<r...@server>,
relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (User unknown in virtual alias
table)
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks,
Mike G.
