Hi,
I'm trying to create a /dev/null mailbox, but didn't get much success
following the recipe at
http://www.serverwatch.com/columns/article.php/3844371/Forwarding-a-Postfix-Virtual-Alias-to-devnull.htm
What I did was following:
- Add a "blackhole" alias in /etc/aliases (blackhole: /dev/null), an ran
"newaliases" to validate it.
- Added the following in mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf:
no-reply@<my domaind> = blackhole
- Ran:
postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf (it's a
FreeBSD platform)
- Restarted Postfix.
Sending an email to no-reply@<my_domain> got me the following error
message in /var/log/maillog:
NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[<my_ip>]: 450 4.1.1
<no-reply@<my_domain>>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in
virtual mailbox table; from=<<my email address>> to=<no-reply@<my
domain>> proto=ESMTP helo=<[<my_ip>]>
I tried adding the same entry from mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf into
mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf, but no success either. Also, just in
case, the same page above mentions that adding a valid user for the
aliases might be necessary. Didn't help either.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks
Roberto
PS: My setup is the following:
FreeBSD 7.2 machine
Postfix 2.8.2
Postfixadmin 2.3.2
main.cf has at the end the following entries:
## MySQL access
virtual_alias_maps =
mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf
virtual_gid_maps = static:125
virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail
virtual_mailbox_domains =
mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_domains_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_limit = 104857600
virtual_mailbox_maps =
mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
virtual_minimum_uid = 125
virtual_transport = virtual
#virtual_transport = maildrop
virtual_uid_maps = static:125
# Additional for quota support
virtual_create_maildirsize = yes
virtual_mailbox_extended = yes
virtual_mailbox_limit_maps =
mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_limit_override = yes
virtual_maildir_limit_message = Desculpe, tamanho da caixa postal
excedido, tente mais tarde! Sorry, mailbox size exceeded, try later!
virtual_overquota_bounce = yes
