You should configure the MAILING LIST, so that it sends all

In the case of Postfix, and a mailing list that is configured in
a Postfix aliases(5) file,  see the aliases(5) manpage and look for
the "owner" alias.

With other mailing list systems, see the corresponding documentation.

If I understand right, it would be enough to create another alias (in LDAP in our case) as the following:

   dn: cn=owner-project-wp2,ou=Aliases,dc=noa,dc=gr
   objectClass: virtualaccount
   cn: owner-project-wp2
   mailacceptinggeneralid: owner-project-...@noa.gr
   maildrop: maillistsad...@noa.gr
   owner: cn=TechAdmins,ou=Groups,dc=noa,dc=gr

I expected that Postfix should automatically pick the above alias as envelope sender of messages directed to project-...@noa.gr.

However I am not seeing this behavior. Am I still missing something (quite possible)?

A couple of settings in our setup:

   owner_request_special = yes
   expand_owner_alias = no
   recipient_delimiter =

The only possible problem I can think of is that the alias name (mailacceptinggeneralid) of both the list and the owner might need to be local-part-only (without a domain specification).

However, I remember that I had problems when setting up aliases on this system (some years ago) without domain names, so all aliases configured are designated with domains (and, thankfully, they work flawlessly).

Could this be the problem and if so, is there a way to make "owner-" alias work using domain names in the alias specifications?

Thanks,
Nick
