I have one further question in this case. Please correct me if I have
misunderstood the setup you described.
My question with this setup is : How do I stop delivery to the
primary
domain?
Two possible solutions:
1. List only one of the domains in $mydestination. Only addresses
in
local (mydestination) domains are passed to the local(8)
delivery
agent and subjected to aliases(5) expansion.
2. Use a virtual(5) alias to implement the list:
virtual(5)
f...@example.com foo-inter...@localhost
aliases(5)
foo-internal: "|/path args"
Optional, block direct mail to "foo-internal":
access(5)
# For each domain in $mydestination:
foo-inter...@example.com REJECT Access denied
foo-inter...@example.net REJECT Access denied
Thanks Viktor,
Option two is a possibility. However, it seems overly complex. In this
situation there are now three database files to be updated. Rather
than just one. If this is the recommended way I will do it this way.
It just far more complicated that what I was doing. Is there any
reason (sorry I am not a post fix developer) that it is now not
possible to specify a non-local domain in the /etc/alias file. Being
able to do this was really a good way of dealing with the situation in
the previous version. Just one database to update for list removal or
addition?
At this point. I will update the three files if that is the
recommended way of doing this. I just think the way it used to work
was far less complex.
I see that option one is also a possible with some major re-
arrangement of the postfix configuration. However, doing this
rearrangement means that then running a mailing list on a different
domain in the future on this server becomes quite complex again.
Option one should work. I will try option two a this point. If any one
has any other ways of doing this then please let me know.
Being able to add in something like mailinglistn...@example.com to
the /etc/alias file is a good idea, I am happy to contribute back to
post fix project to make this work if others think this is a good
idea, provided doing this would not be overly complicated. I really
liked the ability to do this in the older version of postfix. It was
very nice being able to just set this from a single file in the /etc/
alias/ file. However, I suppose this is a topic for the developer
mailing list.
Thanks again, for your suggestions Viktor. With your assistance I will
be able to get it working in the very near future! Right now I am very
keen to actually get it working ASAP.
I am then happy to spend some time to work it out in a better way even
if this means a re-organization.
Again, if anyone has some other suggestions I am listening. Thank you
again to everyone who has provided me with some feed back to date!
