Just a note that the below idea works! Here is tutorial config for setting up both local delivery AND remote forwarding. I guess this is really easy:
Put the text below (with your modifications) in a file, preferably in the same directory where other Postfix configuration files are. ---------------------- server_host = [LDAP HOST] search_base = [Search Base - i.e. (ou=Where to Search,dc=example,dc=com)] version=3 timeout = 10 size_limit = 1 (Directive to inform the LDAP searching utility that only one SET of results should come back per search (i.e. if I search for one CN then only one CN with all resultant attributes should be returned.) bind = yes bind_dn = [Bind DN for searching] bind_pw = [Bind Password] query_filter = ([Attribute to search for here]=%s) - Note that this is the address of the email being recieved. result_attribute = [Attribute Containing Local Address], [Attribute Containing External Address], [More Attributes containing addresses, separated by commas] ---------------------- Once this is done, put your ldap:[Location of above file] directive within a virtual_alias_maps or alias_maps directive in your main configuration file. This depends on whether the address being delivered to is read as a local or virtual domain. A completely working example looks something like what I have below: ldap-forward-example.cf: ---------------------- server_host = ldap-server.example.com search_base = ou=People,dc=example,dc=com version=3 timeout = 10 size_limit = 1 bind = yes bind_dn = cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com bind_pw = password query_filter = (mail=%s) result_attribute = mail, addressToForward ---------------------- Within the main.cf file: ---------------------- #For virtual domains: virtual_alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-forward-example.cf # # OR # #For local domains: alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-forward-example.cf That should be it. Hope this helps someone. I have been searching all over for this.
