Hi,
I have a problem with my installation of postfix and virtual aliases
(mysql). When an email is sent to a virtual alias, the smtp subsystem
translates the alias to the correct real mailbox. However, when the
dovecot/pipe subsystem is called, the recipient is the alias and NOT the
real mailbox. For instance, ab...@mydomain.tld is resolved to
myu...@mydomain.com, but the recipient that the dovecot LDA receives is
ab...@mydomain.com rather than myu...@mydomain.com, and since dovecot's
SQL does query users from the 'alias' table only the 'users' table, thus
the message is bounced.
I have tried all that I can think of to resolve this, but to no
avail...
Any help gratefully received.
Kind regards,
