Yes. That SMTP server is postfix, where I want to implmenet the forwarding as I told. > I am confused as to what your actual question is. My question is about implementing mail forwaring with forward address/addresses set by LDAP also with an option to have copy at the original rcpt or no. I am only confused because aliases mechanism which would be OK for this purpose (I guess) can't be used since these users are not local to me: I still have to send it with SMTP to the mail store server. In the LDAP structure I have a transport maps so it's not a problem: I know which domains should be sent to the mail store server, and which ones to be delivered as is, based on DNS MX.
