Hello,
This machine has a list of legitimate users but does not deliver
mail locally. (It's a mail gateway.)
Presently user schumi gets copies of his mail delivered to three
systems. The three destinations are listed in virtual_alias_maps.
schumi: sch...@inm.arlut.utexas.edu, sch...@ns8.arlut.utexas.edu,
sch...@vme.arlut.utexas.edu
By management fiat, mail that is addressed incorrectly to
sch...@nonexistent.arlut.utexas.edu
should be delivered to sch...@arlut.utexas.edu. It is, but
I get multiple copies. recipient_canonical_maps:
/^schumi@.*\.arlut\.utexas\.edu$/ sch...@arlut.utexas.edu
From the logs I see that the alias gets expanded into three,
and then canonicalized, so that each target gets three copies of the
email.
Obviously, I want to get rid of the duplicates.
For outgoing mail I must avoid MX lookups as part of my
load balancing and fault tolerance, so I must set relayhost.
Only the official mail servers have MX records in DNS, so any
other machines that accept mail must be listed in the transport_maps.
