Maybe the amavis-users list server is filtering your mail. I don't recall seeing any from you either. Note some mail systems, notably google services, suppress "duplicate" messages preventing you from seeing your message to the list. But that doesn't seem to be the case this time. >>> The other feature is the so-called common mailboxes, such as info@ or >>> sales@. >>> I would like to have different delivery lists for same named common mailbox >>> in >>> each of the two internet domains.

Trivial task considering IMAP usage). I see. Maybe a virtual_alias_maps entry expanding the info@ addresses to the specific users.

Not to keep them in use. Addresses listed in relocated_maps do not receive mail. You may be able to use an LDAP lookup that checks the user's dovecot account status for this postfix map. > > > -- > WBR, > Andrey Repin (anrdae...@freemail.ru) 14.03.2014, <01:35> > > Sorry for my terrible english... > Your English is fine.
