For postfix proper, does postfix invoke the postfix sendmail command somewhere
in the process as an MTA to deliver a mail, - for aliases expansion?
The Postfix sendmail command RECEIVES mail INTO Postfix.
The Postfix sendmail command is not used to DELIVER mail.
OK, What can you recommend to me to have postfix do VERP
for a recipient listed in an alias file, and where this recipient
is specified via an :include: statement?
You invoke "sendmail -XV ..." as per the instructions from Majordomo.
Postfix VERP support works for remote and local recipients
whether they are mailboxes or aliases.
I am not using majordomo here, only postfix.
So should I then have a sendmail -XV included in the alias file?
I do not do that for majordomo.
Or should I so something in master.cf with the SMPT handler or some such?
Thanks for all your answers.
As documented in VERP_README, use "sendmail -XV ..." to submit mail.
VERP_README does not tell you to change aliases, so don't do that.
I still don't get it.
My scenario is:
I - or somebody else - submit the mail from another machine by a mail command:
mail listn...@domain.tld
This goes into postfix at my domain.tld MTA.
It gets expanded via my ailas file /etc/postfix/aliases :
listname: :include: /some/file/in/filesystem
....
I am now trying in the alias file something like
listname: "|/user/sbin/sendmail -XV listnameinclude"
listnameinclude: :include: /some/file/in/filesystem
It does generate new from addresses, but not with info on the
names in the include file.
This is a weird construction.
Sendmail has to know all the addresses UPON SUBMISSION to be able to
modify the sender.
Think about this.
You are depending on alias expansion AFTER submission.
It's not going to work.
