Hello,
Let's consider following config (presentation based on VIRTUAL_README):
/etc/postfix/main.cf :
virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:/path/name
virtual_mailbox_domains = example.com
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
/etc/postfix/vmailbox:
j...@example.com whatever
/etc/postfix/virtual:
postmas...@example.com j...@example.com
ab...@example.com j...@example.com
When, in a smtp session, I inadvertently type:
rcpt to:<j...@example.com>
there's an immediate rejection:
550 5.1.1 <j...@example.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown
in virtual mailbox table
On the other hand, typing:
rcpt to:<ab...@example.com>
allows to go ahead and the message will be queued, then bounced because the
LMTP service ultimately rejects the target address <j...@example.com>.
So, a typo in both cases, but with two very different outcomes.
Does this reflect what is meant by:
An address is always considered "known" when it matches a virtual(5)
alias or a canonical(5) mapping.
under the entry for smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient in POSTCONF(5)?
Is there any way (beside taking care not to mistype) to avoid the message
enqueuing in the second case?
TIA,
Axel
